Description

What we're looking for

• Six or more years building production software, with full-stack range and a record of shipping significant work end to end. You can take an ambiguous problem and drive it to done.
• A hands-on builder. You write and review code every day and want to keep doing that as your scope and influence grow.
• Production experience with AI and LLM features, including how you evaluated them and what you changed as a result.
• Strong TypeScript and JavaScript across the front end and the server side, and solid relational database and API design. Comfortability with Rust, networking, and proxy design.
• Comfort operating in cloud-native environments, including containers, orchestration, and CI/CD.
• A strong problem solver. You break down messy, poorly defined problems and find pragmatic solutions.
• Good with customers and a strong communicator. You are comfortable talking directly to the people who use what we build, and you explain technical tradeoffs clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike.
• Product judgment. You think about the learner and the program rather than only the ticket, and you bring ideas about what we should build next.
• The trajectory to grow into engineering leadership as the team scales, and the communication and judgment to work well in a distributed team that runs on trust rather than process.
• Genuine investment in the mission. You want your work to expand access to education and economic opportunity for the people we serve.
• Must live in and have authorization to work in the United States or a US territory.

Nice to have

• Systems-level work in a compiled language such as Rust or Go, or the appetite to learn one.
• Experience with browser automation, browser extensions, or network-level software.
• Experience working closely with an offshore or India-based engineering team.
• Background in education technology, or in secure or otherwise regulated environments
