Description
Ready to architect the future of learning? As a Software Architect on our innovative team, you'll harness your full-stack expertise to craft AI-powered educational experiences that genuinely transform lives. We're not just building apps—we're revolutionizing how people learn, grow, and engage with knowledge.
Our cutting-edge learning ecosystem includes:
- TeachTap: A TikTok-inspired platform where AI brings historical figures to life
- TeachTales: Where personalized storytelling magic meets measurable comprehension gains
- TimeBack: An intelligent learning copilot that proactively coaches students within their existing applications
- Athena: Delivering concrete academic outcomes through AI-generated video content and assessment
This position exists to translate visionary ideas into functional, elegant solutions that make a tangible difference. You'll leverage cloud-native technologies and AI tools to create systems that solve genuine problems—not just satisfy technical requirements. We value pragmatic innovation: shipping quickly without compromising quality, and finding that perfect balance between immediate delivery and sustainable architecture.
If you're energized by technical challenges with real-world impact, we want you on our team.
What you will be doing
- Transform Concepts into Reality: Drive features from conception to deployment—clarifying ambiguous requirements, architecting scalable solutions, implementing full-stack code, conducting thorough testing, and deploying with confidence
- Become the Bug Whisperer: Master the art of technical detective work through sophisticated root cause analysis, implementing permanent fixes rather than band-aid solutions, and creating intelligent test suites that prevent regression
- Champion Code Excellence: Elevate our codebase through thoughtful reviews of technical designs and pull requests, ensuring clarity, simplicity, and maintainability while preventing technical debt accumulation
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating unnecessary complexity—no over-engineered UIs or backend systems without clear purpose
- Following specifications robotically without questioning underlying user needs
- Wasting time in endless planning sessions or organizational politics
- Simply checking off feature boxes—your mission is solving meaningful problems that drive user value
Key responsibilities
- Strategically applying AI technologies to develop software that addresses authentic user challenges, maintains rapid delivery cycles, and preserves long-term code health and extensibility
Candidate requirements
- 4+ years building production-grade web applications with full-stack proficiency (frontend and backend experience with any framework)
- Proven ownership mentality: History of successfully managing complete modules, product features, or technical teams—not just contributing isolated components
- Self-directed problem-solving: Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, establish effective workflows, and maintain momentum without constant guidance
- Practical experience integrating generative AI into your development workflow and technical solutions
