Role:

No cap, you won't be parked on toy tasks. You've got 1–2 years in already — you'll build real product surfaces used by students, work closely with design + product, and own features from idea to production.

We're looking for a product-minded SDE-1 who enjoys turning messy problems into fast, intuitive interfaces. You'll help shape and scale our ed-tech platform, collaborating with engineers, designers, and product managers in a high-ownership

startup environment.

What you'll build:

✦ Ship polished web experiences using React and Next.js, from reusable components to full product flows.

✦ Clock it: performance and quality matter. Improve Core Web Vitals, rendering, state management, reliability,accessibility, and responsiveness.

✦ Build developer-facing product surfaces around coding playgrounds, proctoring, and AI-powered learning experiences.

✦ Turn designs into production with strong attention to interaction details, edge cases, and delightful UX.

✦ Stay locked in : review code, squash bugs, and simplify complexity. Clean code over clever code.

✦ Collaborate tightly with product and design and contribute ideas, not just tickets.

What you bring :

✦ 1–2 years of professional experience shipping production web apps — you've done this outside a classroom.

✦ Strong fundamentals in JavaScript / TypeScript, HTML, CSS, React, and Next.js.

✦ Comfort with state management such as Redux / Redux Toolkit and modern frontend architecture.

✦ Good debugging instincts, problem-solving ability, and attention to detail.

✦ Working knowledge of Git and collaborative development workflows.

✦ Clear communication and the ability to work well in a fast-moving team.

Bonus Points, Not Gatekeeps :

✦ Your GitHub has receipts: you've built and shipped a frontend project people can actually click around in.

✦ Solid foundation in Data Structures and Algorithms.

✦ You use AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or GitHub Copilot thoughtfully, not on autopilot.

✦ Experience with frontend testing using Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, or Cypress.

✦ You care about web performance, accessibility, design systems, or frontend tooling.

Why Join us :

✦ Real ownership: your work reaches real users, not a forgotten demo repo.

✦ We ship. We learn. We cook again: build, ship, learn, improve.

✦ Strong peers: work directly with experienced engineers, product leaders, and designers.

✦ You understood the assignment: try ideas, challenge defaults, and make the product better.

✦ Flexible working hours.
