Senior Software Engineer- Backend (Platform)

Who we are

Each of us at Yoodli has faced our own communication challenges — overcoming a lisp, freezing during a job interview, feeling anxious about speaking up.

That shared empathy shapes a culture that's uplifting, inclusive, and deeply authentic.

We value humility , a bias for action , and the belief that we win together .

Our team includes former employees from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Tableau, and beyond, united by a problem we've personally lived.

We're headquartered in the heart of Seattle, and we're having a lot of fun along the way.

Our culture is built on failing fast, iterating constantly, and taking bold bets.

We've raised $60M — including a $40M Series B led by WestBridge Capital — backed by Madrona, Neotribe, Cercano, and incubated at the Allen Institute for AI.

We're valued at $300M and grew revenue 900% year-over-year.

Our customers include Google Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, RingCentral, SAP, FranklinCovey, KornFerry, Sandler Training, Toastmasters, and many more — with learners in over 150 countries.

Results speak for themselves: Google Cloud certified 15,000+ reps without scaling headcount.

Snowflake recovered 1,200+ manager hours per quarter.

Harness cut training review time by 75%.

We've been featured in TechCrunch, Axios, The Information, Forbes, Fast Company, and more.
