Senior Software Engineer (Toronto Canada) - Coursera｜Meet.jobs

Coursera was founded by two computer science professors at Stanford with a vision of providing life-transforming learning experiences to anyone, anywhere. It is the world’s largest online learning platform for higher education. 200 of the world’s top universities and industry educators partner with Coursera to offer courses, Specializations, and degrees that empower over 48 million learners around the world to achieve their career goals. Over 2,200 companies use the company’s enterprise platform Coursera for Business to transform their talent. Coursera is backed by leading venture capital firms such as Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, New Enterprise Associates, GSV Capital, International Finance Corporation, Laureate Education Inc., and Learn Capital.

The Content Platform team works on the fundamental building blocks for Coursera's course experience. This experience is 2-sided: learners want to learn by engaging actively with material and in many cases, earn a credential supported by rigorous and robust assessments, while content-creation partners want to author and grade content efficiently and effectively, with tools and data providing a feedback loop that allows them to create high-quality content. As a platform-focused team, we seek impact by building a customizable experience that can be used for a wide range of users.
