Staff Software Engineer – AI EdTech (Remote)
Location: Remote, USA
Employment Type: Full-time
Salary: $200K–$250K base
Equity: Equity package
Visa Sponsorship: Not available
About This Role
We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience to serve as a key senior individual contributor at a mission-driven, AI-native EdTech startup.
You'll work directly with the CTO to take ownership of substantial parts of the codebase, independently identifying what needs doing and carrying projects from idea to production.
The company has grown to hundreds of thousands of users and more than 1,000 school and district customers, and your code will ship to production in hours, not weeks.
This is a high-agency role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, lean environment where your work directly impacts literacy outcomes for students.
What Will You Be Doing?

• Building and iterating on the core product suite — prototyping, refining, and rapidly shipping new AI-powered literacy tools

• Taking complex, cross-cutting features from prototype to production with thoughtful architecture and security decisions

• Improving engineering systems and practices while maintaining a high-quality, easy-to-reason-about codebase at scale

• Communicating proactively with the small remote team to ensure alignment and coherence as you ship features end-to-end

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of software engineering experience

• Senior-level software engineering experience with strong full-stack capabilities

• 0-to-1 building experience, including shipping end-to-end features and carrying projects from idea to production

• Experience owning substantial parts of a codebase and handling large-scale projects without a detailed roadmap

• Strong experience with TypeScript, React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL

• High agency and the ability to make meaningful progress with minimal oversight

• Strong attention to detail

• A hands-on engineering mindset and interest in remaining an individual contributor

• Genuine interest in mission-driven work and improving literacy outcomes

Nice to Have

• EdTech experience, either professional or academic

• Familiarity with Vercel deployment and serverless architecture

• Familiarity with modern web frameworks

• Experience with AI/ML products or tooling

Tech Stack
TypeScript, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Vercel, Zod, Sanity, AI/ML
