Coursera and Udemy are now one company, bringing together two mission-driven brands to create the world's most powerful platform for turning learning into progress. Together, we help more than 300 million learners and 12,000+ enterprise customers build the skills they need for a world being reshaped by AI. AI is transforming how people learn, work, and grow, and the need for new skills has never been greater. Coursera brings trusted content and credentials from leading university and industry partners, while Udemy brings a dynamic skills marketplace and global network of real-world experts. By joining our team, you'll have the opportunity to reshape how the world learns and applies skills—and help millions of people participate in the new economy. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will join a fast-paced innovation team that builds and deploys AI-powered solutions directly with Coursera's enterprise and campus customers. You will sit at the intersection of AI/Data Engineering, cloud and security architecture, and customer-facing solutioning — working hands-on with customers to map their workflows and data, prototype solutions quickly, and harden the ones that prove valuable into production deployments.
You'll operate across the full engagement lifecycle: scoping a customer's environment and pain points like a consultant, prototyping working demos in real time with the customer, and then hardening the strongest patterns into production-grade, secure and compliant deployments. This role is customer-facing and will require regular travel to customer sites (domestic and occasionally international) for discovery, prototyping, and go-live phases of engagements. You will work closely with Product Managers, AI Specialists, Data Analysts, and other Engineers on the team, and directly with customer executive sponsors and IT/data owners, to decide what gets standardized, deployed, or retired.
