Full Stack Software Engineer

About the Company

Education is one of the most important and underserved markets in the world. Despite enormous advances in technology, access to highly personalized, high-quality instruction remains limited for most learners. We're building a new category of AI-native educational technology: a voice-first AI tutor capable of deeply understanding each student and adapting to their goals, strengths, and learning style over time. By combining frontier language models, voice interfaces, multimodal reasoning, memory systems, and agent architectures, we’re creating educational experiences that feel less like software and more like having a world-class personal tutor available at any moment. The long-term vision extends far beyond tutoring. We believe AI will fundamentally transform how people learn, acquire skills, and unlock opportunity throughout their lives. Our mission is to build the intelligence layer that makes personalized education universally accessible.
