Full-Stack Developer, Web & LMS Platform

Alkemy EdTech is a DPIIT-recognised edtech startup in Hyderabad, running live, cohort-based upskilling programmes in AI, digital marketing and data analytics. Our learners study on our own Open edX-based LMS and find us through our React website.

We're looking for a full-stack developer to own both platforms: keep them fast, secure and reliable, and build the new features and hands-on labs our programmes need next.

What you'll do

• Own the website. Maintain and improve our React and TypeScript website: new pages, landing pages, forms, performance and bug fixes.
• Keep SEO technically strong. Maintain meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), sitemaps, page speed and Core Web Vitals.
• Run the LMS. Maintain our Open edX platform deployed with Tutor: upgrades, plugins, configuration, theming and MFE customisation.
• Keep everything up and secure. Manage AWS hosting, backups, SSL, DNS, email deliverability, monitoring and server sizing, and fix incidents quickly.
• Build learning features. Develop and integrate XBlocks, LTI tools and Tutor plugins, including hands-on labs for Python and Jupyter, SQL and data analytics.
• Connect our systems. Build and maintain integrations between the website, LMS, CRM, payments, email and messaging through APIs and webhooks.
• Support AI features. Help maintain and extend the AI-powered features in our LMS and career tools.
• Document and protect. Keep clear documentation of architecture, credentials handling, deployments and runbooks, and follow access and data-security practices.
• Support the team. Resolve LMS and website issues raised by learners, trainers and staff.

What success looks like

• Platforms stay up. The website and LMS run reliably, with fast recovery when something breaks.
• Updates ship safely. Upgrades and new features go live without disrupting live cohorts.
• The website performs. Pages are fast, search-friendly and convert visitors into enquiries.
• New labs go live. Learners get hands-on labs that grade automatically and feed into the gradebook.
• Nothing depends on one person. Systems are documented well enough that anyone could pick them up.

Ideally you'll have

• 3 to 6 years in full-stack development
• Strong Python and Django
• Hands-on Open edX experience: Tutor deployments, plugins, XBlocks, theming or MFEs
• Strong React and TypeScript, with Tailwind CSS
• AWS experience (EC2, S3, backups, monitoring) and Docker
• Working knowledge of Linux server administration, DNS, SSL and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
• Experience with REST APIs, webhooks and third-party integrations
• Good habits: Git, clear documentation and careful deployments

Nice to have

• JupyterHub or nbgrader experience
• LTI integrations, such as video conferencing tools in an LMS
• Technical SEO experience
• Google Cloud or experience integrating AI and LLM APIs
• Experience with Lovable or other AI-assisted development tools
• Prior edtech or LMS product experience

What we offer

• Ownership: full responsibility for the platforms learners use every day
• Real building work: custom labs, AI features and integrations, not just maintenance
• Growth: a path to Tech Lead as the team scales
• Leave: paid leave and public holidays as per company policy
