    Description
    About Quizlet:
    Inspired by our belief that anyone can learn anything and powered by our own curiosity, we build the smartest tools we can imagine to help students learn.
    Quizlet is the popular, global learning platform and app that millions of students, teachers and everyday people use to study any subject imaginable for school, work or as part of their personal interests -- including two-thirds of high school students and half of all college students in the US. Combining cognitive science and machine learning, Quizlet guides students through adaptive study activities to confidently reach their learning goals. We're on track to become the undisputed leader in user-generated learning content and engagement, at the scale of YouTube.
    Valued at $1 billion, Quizlet has raised over $60 million in venture capital from investors including Icon Ventures, Union Square Ventures, General Atlantic, Costanoa Ventures, Owl Ventures, and Altos Ventures.
    To serve our global community of learners, our teams tackle lofty technical challenges and design for use cases across cultures and languages. We work hard, act like owners, and collaborate every chance we get. We're energized by the potential to power more learners through multiple approaches and various tools.

    About the Team:
    The Data Engineering team is growing fast. Apart from traditional Data Engineering responsibilities for OLAP functions, we also own the OLTP and streaming databases that power Quizlet's learning platform. Some projects this team involved include building database load test framework, MemoryStore migration, ProxySQL kubernetes implementation, and moving to distributed database architecture.
    About the Role:
    A reliable data layer is the bedrock of running large-scale services at Quizlet. We work closely with product and other technical infrastructure teams to implement data technologies that scale.

    • Handle operational challenges through on-call rotation and provide production incident assistance
    • Enhance our visibility into data layer workflows and workloads

    • 5+ years of experience in systems and infrastructure engineering or software development with at least 3 years of experience building and maintaining data services on MySQL and Spanner
    • Familiarity with design and maintaining high availability cloud-based database systems in GCP or another cloud platform
    • A great understanding of how complex systems work and not afraid to dive deep into each component
    • Comfortable with coding in Python, Hacklang, Go, or similar languages to automate repetitive tasks and the ability to rewrite application code to enhance our data management strategy
    • Experience working with Kubernetes and IAC tools like Terraform and Helm
    • Passion for learning and technology, keen on sharing not just the wins but lessons learned

    • Competitive health, dental, and vision insurance (100% employee and 75% dependent PPO, HMO, VSP Choice)
    • Employer-sponsored 401k plan with company match

We make informed decisions whenever possible but are unafraid to take calculated risks on great ideas to promote learning. We embrace challenges and see effort as the path to mastery. We're constantly seeking opportunities to learn and we embrace curiosity. Quality matters at Quizlet, and we hold the bar high on everything we do.
