Are you a Full-Stack Engineer who thrives on solving complex challenges and delivering high-impact features? Join our team to build innovative AI-powered products that transform how people learn and grow. You’ll focus on high-quality execution, ensuring our products are scalable, maintainable, and impactful.

You’ll Work On Products That Are Transforming Learning

• TeachTap: Leverages AI to bring historical figures to life in a TikTok-like learning experience.
• TeachTales: Engages students with personalized, magical storytelling that boosts comprehension.
• TimeBack: Acts as a learning copilot that integrates with existing apps, proactively coaching students.
• Athena: Uses AI-generated videos and tests to deliver measurable academic outcomes.
  
  

This role exists to deliver real-world impact through working software. You’ll use AI tools and cloud-native technologies to build full-stack systems that solve meaningful problems, not just tick off tickets. You’ll be expected to ship fast without cutting corners, choosing the simplest correct solution that balances short-term speed with long-term maintainability.

If you’re ready to solve complex technical challenges and deliver impactful features, we’d love to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Build and Ship Full-Stack Features: Take user stories from idea to impact; clarify requirements, design scalable solutions, write backend and frontend code, test thoroughly, and ship to production
• Hunt Down and Fix Bugs: Investigate issues through root cause analysis, fix the real problems (not just symptoms), and guard against regressions with smart testing
• Raise the Bar on Code Quality: Review plans and pull requests to ensure clarity, simplicity, and correctness, blocking tech debt before it starts
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Building pixel-perfect UIs or complex backends just for their own sake
• Blindly implementing specs without understanding the problem
• Getting stuck in endless meetings discussing roadmaps and priorities or chasing people around
• Just shipping features; you’ll be responsible for solving actual problems
  
  

Lead Software Engineer Key Responsibilities

• Using AI to build software that solves real user problems, ships fast, and stays maintainable long-term
  
  

Basic Requirements

• At least 4 years of experience writing production code for web applications' frontend and backend (any framework).
• Strong ownership: Demonstrated experience owning complete modules, product features, or teams, not just contributing siloed tasks
• Independent execution: The ability to unblock yourself, set your own pace, and find paths forward in ambiguous situations
• Experience in using generative A.I. in your day-to-day development work
