📋 Description

• Own backend features for AI-powered educator tools: architecture, implementation, deployment, observability. The whole lifecycle is yours. • Design and build data ingestion and transformation pipelines. Event sourcing, stream processing, aggregation layers for real-time and batch analytics. • Build and evolve APIs that serve learning insights and AI-generated content. Fast, well-documented, easy to integrate with. • Integrate LLM capabilities into the product: orchestration, structured output parsing, RAG, caching, cost control on model calls. • Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) as part of your daily workflow. Delegate scaffolding, test generation, and first-pass implementations to AI agents. Review, refine, and own what comes out. • Write specs, ADRs, and context docs that work for your teammates and your tooling. Good context engineering speeds up everything downstream. • Ship features with Flutter engineers, PM, and designer. Short cycles, tight feedback loops. • Find ways to automate repetitive engineering work with AI: CI checks, code review triage, doc generation, migration scripts.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of backend development on production systems. You've owned services, debugged incidents at scale, mentored engineers, and made architecture decisions you had to live with. • Strong Node.js/TypeScript and GCP fundamentals (Firestore, BigQuery, Spanner, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub). • Experience with both NoSQL and SQL databases. You can reason about data modeling trade-offs, consistency guarantees, and query performance. • You already use AI coding tools daily. Show us your workflow, your prompt patterns, and how you structure context for agents. • Systems thinking. You think about failure modes, scalability, and data consistency up front. • Clear, async-first communication. You write well, share context without being asked, and document decisions. We're a remote-first, multinational team. English is the working language. • Nice to have, but not a must: • Experience putting LLMs into production: RAG pipelines, structured extraction, classification, prompt management, eval frameworks. • Background in ed-tech, learning analytics, or content generation. • Experience with event-driven architectures and stream processing at scale. • Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipeline ownership. • Experience in product trios or similar setups where engineers shape the product, not just build what's specced. • Hands-on Spanner experience for globally consistent, horizontally scalable workloads.

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited paid holidays • Work from anywhere • Team events • A great culture • Perk Budget • Join a purposeful mission
