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. If you\'re a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.
