Senior Engineering Manager

**Overview**:
Nerdy is looking for an innovative and AI-native Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Tutor Growth and Incentive team. As the Senior Engineering Manager, you will play a pivotal role in driving forward our mission of helping people learn by leading a dynamic team of software engineers who will support tutor retention and engagement initiatives by driving the right tutor behaviors and best-in-class face-to-face tutoring experience.

**About Nerdy**:
At Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) - the company behind Varsity Tutors - we're redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale.

We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you'd bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.

Fortune favors the bold. Join us.

**How we compete**:

- AI-Native at every level
From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you're not wielding AI, you're not done.
- Entrepreneurial velocity
Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die.
- Free-market rigor
Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.
- Full-stack ownership
You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.
- Reward for contribution
Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both _what_ you achieve and _how _you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.
- Relentless exploration
Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.
- Is Apolitical
You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
