AI Super Engineer

$200,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($100 USD/hour)

We're scaling platforms that thousands of students and teams depend on:

• TimeBack: Educational platform powering Alpha School's 2-hour learning model (99th percentile test results).
• Incept: Content generation platform creating all personalized educational content for multiple learning applications used at Alpha School.
• Crossover: AI-powered hiring platform processing tens of thousands of applicants per month, staffing schools and companies globally.

You'll own one of these platforms and spend most of your time building the complex parts of the codebase alongside a small team (3-5 strong engineers, no juniors). Your architecture decisions determine whether other teams can rapidly build new apps, integrate cleanly, and add value to students. Get this right and you enable massive leverage. The wrong decisions create integration nightmares and kill velocity across multiple teams.

You build and operate what you design. You establish quality bars and patterns for your platform. We're spec-driven: you design before you implement, always plan before you build. High autonomy, no committees, no review boards. Small tight-knit team, where you're accountable for what you ship.
