Develop the engineering organization, shifting over time toward a primarily leadership-focused role.

Strong hands-on engineering ability and backend architecture experience, including navigating technical trade-offs.
Experience scaling teams and owning product or business outcomes such as speed, quality, growth, or retention.
Proficiency in TypeScript or Python, with experience in AWS and MongoDB; the broader stack includes React.
Background in K-12 EdTech or related education and learning fields, ideally with experience in mission-driven work.
Comfort working in a high-growth environment, communicating technical decisions in business terms, and learning to apply AI.
Ability to travel for periodic company retreats and business needs.
