Description

  • Remote · Contractor · $50/hr

We are looking for an exceptional engineer who excels at taking ownership, driving strategic decisions, and solving intricate technical problems. In this position, you will develop the core features of a product while defining its technical roadmap and securing its sustainability and scalability. The technical choices you make will have a direct effect on the product and those who use it, providing you with the freedom to innovate and the accountability to execute.

You'll contribute to products that are reshaping education:

  • TeachTap: Uses AI to animate historical figures in a TikTok-style educational format.
  • TeachTales: Captivates students through personalized, immersive storytelling that enhances understanding.
  • TimeBack: Serves as a learning assistant that integrates with current applications, offering proactive student guidance.
  • Athena: Employs AI-generated videos and assessments to produce quantifiable learning results.

You will lead the technical advancement of our products, making sure they are scalable, maintainable, and resilient over time. Working in close partnership with product teams, you will convert high-level specifications into concrete technical architectures and address sophisticated challenges while upholding rigorous quality benchmarks. Your choices will define the product's trajectory and affect how thousands of students engage with learning.

We emphasize deliberate planning and upfront architecture. Our AI-first methodology automates routine work, allowing you to concentrate on strategic decisions and complex problem-solving. You will enjoy significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape product strategy while prioritizing long-term robustness and scalability.

If you are prepared to spearhead the technical growth of our SaaS products and harness generative AI to explore new possibilities, we want to connect with you.


What you will be doing

  • Feature Development: Architecting and building new capabilities with an emphasis on scalability, maintainability, and sustained product value.
  • Requirement Engineering: Partnering with the product team to clarify requirements and guiding technical conversations to ensure features support product objectives.
  • Operations and Maintenance: Overseeing product stability, optimizing performance, and preemptively detecting and addressing issues.
  • Technical Design: Executing high-stakes technical decisions that directly influence user experiences and product growth.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Jumping between short-lived projects or pursuing the latest hyped technologies.
  • Supporting internal IT infrastructure or outsourced assignments with no tangible user impact.
  • Spending time in unproductive meetings or managing tedious infrastructure tasks.

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.
