EdVisorly is an education technology company that uses AI to modernize and automate college transfer processes, including transcript evaluation, transfer credit equivalencies, and transfer student recruitment. Their EddyAI platform automates transcript processing and provides enrollment data insights; EdVisorlyRecruit focuses on recruiting transfer-ready students; EddyDB creates a centralized AI-powered equivalency database; and EddyNavigate offers student-facing tools for real-time credit transparency. The company targets universities, community colleges, and other higher-education institutions to improve admissions efficiency, boost recruitment, and enhance student decision-making.

📋 Description

• Design, build, and scale the systems that power student–university interactions. • Own critical APIs and services that enable real-time data, automation, and integrations. • Shape product direction at a foundational stage. • Drive improvements in reliability, performance, and security across distributed systems. • Automate onboarding and workflows by building ingestion jobs and database-driven configurations. • Partner with product, frontend, and data teams to design and deliver impactful features. • Work closely with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to ensure seamless school deployments. • Contribute to system design discussions, technical decision-making, and mentorship within the team. • Champion best practices in testing, code quality, and CI/CD automation. • Proactively identify bottlenecks and scale systems to handle high-volume data and transactions. • Stay ahead of emerging frameworks, cloud technologies, and AI-driven tools to keep us innovative.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience — ideally in SaaS, EdTech, or high-growth startup environments. • Strong in Node.js, fluent enough to learn and adapt — whether that’s TypeScript/Express, Python/FastAPI, or other modern stacks. • Built and scaled RESTful APIs (GraphQL a bonus) and can keep them clean, secure, and fast. • Worked across databases (Postgres, Redis, or NoSQL) and can design for scale, reliability, and performance. • Comfortable in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred; AWS/Azure fine too) and can navigate Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform without blinking. • Care about automation and pipelines — cutting manual steps by building config-driven systems, ETL, and ingestion workflows. • Build with a security-first mindset — know your way around OAuth2/OIDC, role- and policy-based auth, and compliance frameworks (SOC2, FERPA). • Touched CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability tools (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Sentry) — know they’re not “nice to have,” they’re table stakes. • Thrive on architecting distributed systems and microservices that balance complexity with simplicity. • Bonus points if you’ve played with AI/ML integration (OpenAI, Hugging Face, vector search like FAISS/pgvector) or have a knack for developer productivity hacks using AI tools. • Self-starter who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, and love the challenge of building 0→1. • Collaborator at heart — sharing knowledge, giving feedback, and celebrating wins with the team.
