Front End Engineer

Where we Work

Udemy is a global company headquartered in San Francisco, with additional U.S. offices in Denver and Austin, and international hubs in Australia, India, Ireland, Mexico, and Türkiye. This is an in-office position, requiring three days a week in the office (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and flexibility on Mondays and Fridays.

 

About your skills

• Craftsmanship: You take pride in writing clean, maintainable, and performant code. You understand the value of abstraction, testing, and naming, and you work to raise the bar for code quality within your team.

• Curiosity: You never stop learning. You are proactive in exploring new tools, frameworks, and best practices. You seek feedback, iterate on your work, and share your learnings to lift others around you.

• Execution: You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and scoping down problems to deliver incrementally. You take responsibility for seeing your work through—from understanding the problem to validating the solution in production.

• Collaboration: You work closely with cross-functional team members like product managers, designers, and engineers across teams. You communicate clearly and are thoughtful about tradeoffs. You seek alignment early and adapt based on feedback.

• Problem Solving: You approach problems analytically and with a growth mindset. You break down moderately complex challenges into solvable parts and lean into both technical and product questions to reach the right outcome.
