We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our AI Experience Pod - the team responsible for Kiddom's flagship AI-powered experience. AI Experience leverages AI to build technology enabling all teachers and learners to unlock their full potential. This role focuses on building intuitive, performant, and AI-enhanced interfaces that create a delightful AI Experience for educators and students.

You'll work within a small, agile team of 3–4 engineers, collaborating closely with product, design, and data partners. This role is ideal for someone who is deeply AI-native - an engineer who uses AI tools daily to accelerate development, improve code quality, and meaningfully integrate AI into user-facing experiences. You should thrive in ambiguity, enjoy complex technical challenges, and be motivated by building transformative, AI-first products for educators and students.

What You'll Do...

• Build end-to-end solutions from React/TypeScript frontends to GoLang and Python backend services (being highly experienced in one of these can be sufficient)
• Develop, maintain, and optimize AI/LLM-powered features that personalize learning at scale
• Rapidly prototype new AI-driven capabilities and iterate based on user feedback and data
• Work with large datasets to analyze model performance, identify issues, and guide improvements
• Turn complex product concepts into robust, reliable AI-enhanced user experiences
• Collaborate closely with product, design, data science, and ML engineering partners
• Contribute to architectural decisions, tooling enhancements, and best practices across the stack
• Leverage AI tools to improve engineering velocity, code quality, and experimentation workflows

What We're Looking For...

• 5–7+ years of professional software development experience
• A full-stack mindset with willingness to work across frontend, backend, AI integration layers, and supporting infrastructure
• Strong ability to reason about AI system behavior, model limitations, and best practices for safe, reliable integration
• Experience working with data pipelines, experiment evaluation, or model performance analysis
• A collaborative, product-minded engineer who enjoys working directly with design and PM partners
• Someone who embraces fast iteration, incomplete information, and continuous learning
• An AI-native engineer who knows how to select, use, and apply AI tools effectively in both development and product experiences

Bonus...

• Experience integrating LLMs or ML systems into production applications
• Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, or retrieval-augmented generation
• CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Familiarity with the AWS ecosystem (Lambda, ECS, RDS, k8s, containerized applications)
