Senior Full-Stack Engineer

• Our Product Engineers aren’t members of a feature team. They are the feature team
• You’ll start from a problem or a goal, figure out what to build, design the experience, implement it, test it, ship it, and communicate it. No PM to translate for you
• No designer to hand you mocks. No QA to catch your bugs before users do. That’s not a gap in our process. It’s the role
• What this looks like in practice:
• You receive context on a user problem or business goal, not a spec
• You define your own requirements, break down the work, and manage your own scope
• You make design and UX decisions, getting lightweight feedback when useful
• You write the code, write the tests, and hold yourself accountable for quality
• You communicate progress and outcomes directly to stakeholders
• The stack: Django / Python backend
• React / TypeScript frontend
• AWS
• PostgreSQL
• Celery / Redis
• We use AI tools (Claude, Cursor) as a standard part of how we plan, build, and document not as an experiment

Benefits

• Company sponsored 401k and up to 1% matching contributions
• (If you’re on site in Austin) snacks and catered lunch at least once a week
• Asynchronous, results-first work culture
• 3+ Weeks PTO and 8 national holidays off
• Fully covered healthcare that includes vision, dental, and other perks, with partial dependent coverage

• We’re looking for engineers who get uncomfortable when they’re too far from the outcome
• Who have opinions about UX, not just code quality. Who find product thinking as natural as system design
• Who take it personally when something they built doesn’t land with users, and who fix it without being asked
• Solid AWS and SQL experience in production environments
• You define requirements from a problem statement, you don’t wait for a spec
• Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end, from ambiguous problem to production
• This role is for engineers based in Austin, Texas, with the ability to work in the office 1-2 days a week
• Strong written communication: specs, release notes, and documentation are part of how you deliver
• Nice to have: Celery, Redis, educational data standards (Ed-Fi, One Roster), or genuine interest in ed-tech, career exploration, or workforce development
• Comfortable with async task management and the operational realities of production systems
• Strong Python and React proficiency, built through real production work
