Senior Software Engineer   $100,000 USD/year

Description

Are you a skilled engineer drawn to ownership, strategic impact, and solving demanding technical problems? This position places you at the center of building critical product features while guiding technical strategy and safeguarding long-term resilience and expansion. The technical choices you make will have direct consequences for the product and its user base, granting you the freedom to innovate alongside the accountability to execute.

The products you'll contribute to are reshaping education:

  • 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.

Your role is to steer the technical advancement of these platforms, making them scalable, maintainable, and durable over time. Working in close partnership with product teams, you will convert strategic requirements into concrete technical designs and navigate intricate challenges without compromising quality. The decisions you make will define the product's trajectory and affect the learning journeys of thousands of students.

We value deliberate planning and early-stage design rigor. Our AI-first methodology removes repetitive work, allowing you to concentrate on decisions that matter and meaningful problem-solving. You will enjoy significant autonomy, the opportunity to steer product direction, and a focus on enduring stability and scalability.

If you are prepared to lead technical transformation in our SaaS offerings and apply generative AI to expand what's possible, we want to connect with you.


What you will be doing

  • Feature Development: Designing and implementing new features focusing on scalability, maintainability, and long-term product impact.
  • Requirement Engineering: Collaborating with the product team to refine requirements and leading technical discussions to align features with product goals.
  • Operations and Maintenance: Monitoring and maintaining product stability, tuning performance, and proactively identifying and resolving issues.
  • Technical Design: Making stakes technical decisions directly impacting user experiences and product scalability.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Jumping between transient projects or pursuing the latest hype-driven technology trends.
  • Contributing to internal IT systems or outsourced initiatives that lack tangible user impact.
  • Spending excessive time in meetings or wrestling with tedious infrastructure problems.

Candidate requirements

  • At least 1 year of full-stack development experience, working on front and backend features.
  • At least 2 years as the primary technical contributor for a SaaS product, driving strategic technical decisions.
  • At least 4 years of experience working on actual SaaS products, not outsourcing or internal IT projects.
  • Experience in using generative AI in your day-to-day development work.
