• Join us at a magical time: We went through Y Combinator, have raised funding and are seeing strong traction with a very lean team. You get to be among the first employees in one of the strongest and most passionate teams in the EdTech space.

So, what will you do as a Full Stack Lead at company?

• As one of the early employees, there will be a lot on your plate. All the time!
• You'll take ownership and build new product features from start to finish. We love to hire ‘Product Engineers’ who care about “why” behind a feature and suggest changes to hit the objectives even better
• You'll build improvements to performance, reliability, and product polish — for example, improving the efficiency and performance of our replicated state systems.
• You will mentor new joiners, review the pull requests and help with expanding the team as we grow
