We’re a fast‑growing EdTech startup focused on immersive online tutoring powered by AI, enabling real-world impact and meaningful innovation. We’re a close-knit team that values inclusive mentorship, autonomy, and mutual support.

Tasks

As one of our first hires, you’ll be working closely with the founders from day one, playing a crucial role in shaping the future of the product.

• Take ownership of either backend or frontend projects and expand into the complementary area.
• Backend: build APIs, model data, work with NestJS/TypeScript to develop AI-driven features.
• Frontend: craft React components, integrate with backend services, optimize user experience.
• Work with Product and engineering peers to design, ship, test and maintain features.
• Collaborate in code reviews and optional pair programming.

You will be working closely with Max (CTO) and Nico (CPO) who own tech and product respectively.

Requirements

You have strong experience in either React/modern frontend tooling or backend development (NestJS/Node, REST/GraphQL). What matters most is your motivation to learn the other side and grow into a full-stack role. You thrive in high-agility environments and want to contribute to a culture of ownership, paired programming, and continuous improvement.
