- Work with product and design to turn ideas into a release plan
- 5+ years of software development, with at least 2 years leading or mentoring developers
- Real experience building EdTech products (LMS, assessment tools, tutoring apps, or similar)
- Strong skills in React or Next.js, and in Node.js or Python
- Experience with cloud hosting (AWS, GCP, or Azure), databases, and APIs
- Hands‑on experience building AI features with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar)
- Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) and good judgment on when to trust their output
- Knowledge of education standards such as LTI, SCORM, or xAPI
- Understanding of student data privacy (FERPA, COPPA) and accessibility (WCAG)
- Clear communication with both technical and non-technical people
Nice to have
- Experience with RAG or AI agents in a product
- Learning analytics or adaptive learning experience
- Past work with schools, universities, or ed‑tech startups
- Compensation: Competitive Base Salary + Performance Bonus
- Remote work with earned flexibility.
- Work on AI products with real clients
- Lead the technical direction of a growing EdTech product line
