About this role.
Teachable is hiring a senior full-stack engineer to improve engineering productivity, software delivery workflows, and the reliability of production releases. The role combines hands-on web application development with engineering enablement work, including CI/CD improvements, documentation, onboarding, mentorship, and legacy-code modernization. Candidates need at least five years of production web application experience and practical knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and service-oriented platforms. The engineer will work remotely with Brazil- and US-based teams, while hiring is specifically focused on engineers located in Brazil. Strong written English, independent problem-solving, and collaborative asynchronous communication are central to success.

Sample interview questions
I would begin by measuring the current workflow, such as lead time, failed deployments, review wait time, or manual release steps. I would then work with affected engineers to identify root causes, introduce a targeted automation or process change, and monitor the outcome with agreed metrics. Clear documentation and incremental rollout are important to ensure the improvement is adopted.
I have used containerization to standardize application environments, Kubernetes to manage deployment and scaling, AWS for managed cloud services, and Terraform to version and reproduce infrastructure. My approach emphasizes secure defaults, observable deployments, reusable modules, and a reliable path for engineers to provision and release services.
I would first understand the business-critical paths, existing tests, operational pain points, and architectural constraints. I would make small, low-risk improvements while adding characterization tests and documentation, then prioritize larger refactors based on customer impact and maintenance cost. This protects delivery velocity while steadily improving the codebase.
I independently investigate issues, document assumptions and findings, and propose a concrete next step before requesting input. I use asynchronous updates for routine decisions and reserve meetings for ambiguous, high-impact, or cross-functional discussions. This keeps work moving while ensuring stakeholders have visibility and opportunities to contribute.
An effective program includes a structured environment setup, a clear architecture overview, documented development and release workflows, and a sequence of meaningful starter tasks. It should pair new engineers with mentors, provide regular feedback checkpoints, and continuously improve based on onboarding feedback and time-to-productivity indicators.
