Platform OverviewWe’re operating platforms that support thousands of students and distributed teams:
- Time Back:
Educational platform driving Alpha School’s 2‑hour learning model (99th percentile test results). - Incept:
Content generation platform producing all personalized educational content for multiple learning applications deployed at Alpha School. - Crossover: AI‑powered hiring platform handling tens of thousands of applicants per month, staffing schools and companies globally.
You’ll take ownership of one of these platforms and dedicate most of your time to building the intricate components of the codebase with a small team (3‑5 senior engineers, no junior members). Your architectural choices dictate whether other teams can quickly build new applications, integrate seamlessly, and deliver value to students. Execute this well and you unlock significant leverage. Poor decisions generate integration chaos and eliminate velocity across multiple teams.
WhatYou Will Be Doing
- Technical Leadership:
Drive strategic architectural decisions and define technical patterns for the team to adopt. - AI Leadership:
Advance adoption of emerging AI workflows and develop high‑impact playbooks. - Implementation:
Construct the complex, mission‑critical components of the codebase with your team. - Quality Reviews:
Verify your team adheres to established patterns and upholds quality standards.
- Serving as an architect without coding
- Spending time in endless meetings
- Managing people (this is a technical leadership position, not a people management role)
- Maintaining legacy systems or internal IT infrastructure
- At least 5 years of professional software development experience building software products
- At least 3 years as either a lead engineer (reviewing others’ work) or architect (making key technical decisions)
- Experience working on platform‑level products where other teams consumed your APIs
- Deep engagement with AI tools, actively experimenting and pushing boundaries
