  • Role Overview
  • The Customer Support Specialist plays a critical role in ensuring a seamless learning experience by providing comprehensive support to learners and families exclusively through digital channels. This fast-paced, mission-driven environment requires a detail-oriented problem-solver with a passion for helping people learn. This position is ideal for empathetic individuals who excel in written communication and thrive in a dynamic, non-voice support setting.

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.
