WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• You are a product developer who can take an idea and own it from idea to deployment.
• You speak to customers and understand how to turn their feedback into actionable items.
• You take an existing component library and build new features without waiting for perfectly crafted designs.
• You are truly full stack and can build for both front and backend.

OUR ENGINEERING CULTURE

• We're a small, growing team built on flat structure and a bias for speed.
• We use LLMs liberally but know when to pause and code ourselves.
• We work together in a shared video channel, celebrate wins openly, and leave egos at the door.
• We move fast, adapt readily, and know the difference between a good pivot and a shiny object.

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK HERE
You'll personally ship features real users depend on, explore freely across projects without being siloed, and join a collaborative team that genuinely supports one another. We're experimenting and building incredibly interesting features to help teachers educate the next generation of students.
