Overview:

Nerdy is seeking an entrepreneurial and visionary product leader to transform and scale our Live Classes into a dynamic streaming platform that makes learning irresistible. You'll own the complete product experience, turning our static marketplace into a vibrant hub where students discover and engage with live streaming content in real-time. You'll shape the product vision, define the roadmap, and lead its execution to reimagine the Live Classes experience and drive adoption, engagement, and growth.

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.
