What will you do

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer youll help shape the product the technical direction and the way the team works. This role comes with real ownership: you will help define what we build how we build it and how we validate it with teachers.

You will work end-to-end: from shaping solutions with the product lead and designer to shipping production-ready features to instrumenting experiments and learning from data and user feedback. Youll build across frontend backend and infrastructure and youll use AI tooling to move faster and stay flexible as the product evolves.

This team is intentionally built for agility: one designer one product lead and one (possibly two) full stack engineers. Together you will build a prototype test it with the market learn fast and iterate rapidly. There will be support from the wider organization when needed but day to day this team owns the problem the pace and the outcomes.

Your role and impact

• Build and evolve a prototype quickly and iteratively together with the product lead and designer then improve it based on real market feedback

• Own full-stack delivery: frontend (React) backend (Python) and the cloud infrastructure needed to ship safely

• Make smart technical trade-offs that fit an early-stage product: fast learning first with a clear path to hardening and scaling

• Set up foundations for speed: good developer experience automated testing CI/CD observability and reliable environments

• Use agentic coding and AI-assisted development deliberately to increase throughput reduce context switching and stay effective across the stack

• Design and implement APIs and data flows that support experimentation (for example feature flags A/B testing and analytics)

• Ensure security and privacy are built in from the start especially for anything involving student or teacher data

• Collaborate closely and transparently with a lightweight process and high trust while tapping into expertise across Futurewhiz when needed

Our stack is:

• Python back-end

• React front-end

• AWS

Everything else is flexible. We will choose tools and patterns that help us learn fast and build responsibly and we will adjust as the product matures.

Who are you

You thrive in small agile teams where outcomes matter more than role boundaries. You are self-reliant entrepreneurial in mindset and comfortable with uncertainty. You like building something new putting it in front of users and iterating quickly.

You have a broad engineering skill set and enjoy moving across frontend backend and infrastructure when the product needs it. You also actively embrace modern AI-assisted development and agentic coding approaches to extend your capabilities speed up delivery and stay adaptable across the stack.

You bring:

• Solid experience shipping production software as a senior engineer ideally in fast-moving product environments

• Strong backend skills in Python (API design architecture testing maintainability)

• Strong frontend experience with React and building user-friendly high-performance web applications

• Hands-on cloud experience running production services (AWS GCP Azure) including deployments monitoring and security basics

• Comfort owning features end-to-end: from idea to implementation to release to iteration based on feedback

• A pragmatic approach to engineering quality: you ship fast but you dont ship fragile

• A track record of using AI-assisted development responsibly (for example code generation refactoring test creation debugging) while maintaining strong engineering judgment

• Fluency in English written and spoken

Nice to have (but not a must):

• Experience with AWS specifically

• Experience building AI-enabled product features (for example with LLMs) including evaluation and quality safeguards

• Experience with experimentation tooling (feature flags A/B testing) & analytics

• Experience setting up infrastructure as code and modern CI/CD pipelines
