About the Role:

You’ll collaborate with a talented cross-functional team that includes frontend and backend developers, a product manager, a designer, and an experienced product leadership group.

The team works in two-week sprints using Scrum, values clean code and automation, and is currently building toward greater test coverage and infrastructure maturity. Your input into architectural decisions, tooling, and best practices will help lay the foundation for future technical leadership as the business continues to scale.

Skills & Experience:

• Strong backend experience with Python/Django
• Solid frontend experience with React (web) and/or React Native (app)
• Commercial experience in SaaS or product-based environments
• Proficient in building robust APIs and integrations
• Familiar with AWS and modern cloud infrastructure
• Comfortable working in Agile teams with strong communication skills
• Interest in or hands-on use of AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer, Cursor, MCPs)

Why Work Here?

• Competitive salary package
• ESOP - share in the value you help create
• Gorgeous North Shore HQ (yes, the coffee’s great)
• Flexible hours and hybrid/remote options for high performers
• Smart tools: devin, Make.com, Notion, and AI-augmented development workflows
• Strong mentorship and career growth pathways
• Work that matters - real, tangible impact in the education space
