Full Stack Engineer; or Principal level - remote​/hybrid

Our Mission

The Dirt World (food, water, shelter, power, and transportation) is the foundation of humanity. And hardworking people are the foundation of the Dirt World. But these folks—who have served society relentlessly for decades—are retiring.

Build Witt's mission is to build the Dirt World's next generation by helping companies attract top talent, train them to their fullest potential, and retain them for the long haul.

Build Witt Improve is our flagship microtraining platform designed to train the next generation of the Dirt World workforce. We’re seeking an experienced Full Stack Engineer (Staff or Principal level) to design, build, and deliver high‑quality software across our modern web and mobile products. This is a hands‑on role: you’ll be writing code daily, collaborating closely with the team, and shipping reliable, scalable systems that drive real‑world impact.

You’ll be joining a team that’s making a real difference in an essential industry. This isn’t just another tech job—it’s a chance to build something that matters.
