Studdy
An AI math tutor for every student
Founding Engineer
About the role
About The Role
We’re seeking a founding engineer to help us scale and grow our nascent but world-class AI Tutor mobile app (Studdy).
This is a senior role and we are looking for an independent thinker who appreciates ownership, accountability, and high-velocity environments.
We don't require a particular domain expertise. The ideal candidate is a fast-moving generalist who is primarily motivated by building things with positive impact, and who is interested in participating in strategy at the company level.
Our small team of six is tight and we put a lot of care into what we’re making. If this sounds interesting please reach out!
Engineering Responsibilities
You will be doing a lot of coding and may be asked to pick up things you've never done before (e.g. devops, frontend, prompt engineering, machine learning). Your main priority will be to ship new products at a high velocity in order to maximize our company's rate of product experimentation (and thereby our rate of learning).
You’ll make key architectural decisions that will become pillars of the engineering org. At the same time, you’ll have to make serious trade-offs to balance speed of execution with quality. You’ll decide what technical debt is worth taking on, what components should be built versus bought, and when it’s worth spending an extra week to engineer a solid foundation.
Culture
We are a tight knit team and we bring our full selves to work. We try to make that possible by fostering a culture of openness, transparency, and collaboration. We like working on problems with social impact. The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime and we think it's important to spend that time working on problems you enjoy solving, with people you enjoy solving them with.
Location/Remote Work
We're based in San Francisco and prefer candidates who are based in the bay area but are open to remote candidates from other regions as well.
