WHAT YOU'LL DO Own Large Platform Projects - Take major features from concept to shipped: scoping, architecture, implementation, and rollout. - Own whole product areas end to end, whether it's the institution admin experience, the faculty tools for configuring AI assistants, or the student-facing product. - Partner with product and design to turn ambiguous customer needs into concrete, shippable product. Full-Stack Feature Development - Ship features end-to-end in TypeScript, across the client, server, and database. - Build and extend the integrations that connect Nectir to the systems institutions already use. - Write performant, typed, test-covered code that's safe to change. Quality, Performance, and Craft - Debug production issues across the stack, from the client to background services. - Raise the bar on code quality, test coverage, and architectural clarity. - Partner with DevOps on deployment, observability, and incident response. AI-Augmented Development - Use AI coding tools as a daily part of how you build. - Scope work so agents handle what they do well and you own what they can't. - Collaborate on AI-facing product features alongside AI engineering when they cross into the platform. Team and Leverage - Mentor teammates, review code thoughtfully, and strengthen the engineering culture. - Contribute to architectural decisions as the platform scales. - Communicate clearly in an async, distributed environment. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-Haves - Strong full-stack engineering foundation: systems thinking, debugging, architecture, and the ability to reason about code you didn't write. - Deep experience with TypeScript across both frontend and backend. Our entire stack is TypeScript. - Track record of shipping and owning large, user-facing features in production web applications. - Comfort working directly with relational databases like Postgres. - Product mindset: you build cohesive experiences for real users, not just features. You have intuition for what's going to feel right before you ship it. - Proficiency with AI coding tools as part of your daily workflow. We are an AI company, and fluency here is non-negotiable. - Proactive, self-directed communication. You manage your own time, meet deadlines, and flag blockers before they become problems. Nice-to-Haves - Experience with modern full-stack React frameworks and server-rendered UI. - Experience integrating with LMS platforms or LTI. - Familiarity with background workers and durable job processing. - A track record outside of day jobs: a company you started, an open-source project you maintain, or side projects you keep shipping. - Deep curiosity about AI, or a real passion for education. No degree requirements. What you know and can do is more important than where you learned it. WORKING AT NECTIR We're a startup, which means the work moves fast, but the impact is real. You will not be a small cog in a big machine here, but the one building the machine itself. This is a full-time, remote position, open to candidates anywhere in Latin America. You should be comfortable working with a significant overlap with US business hours. WHAT WE OFFER - Competitive base salary - Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, and vision (for US-based roles only) - 401k with employer match (for US-based roles only) - Equity (stock options), so you share in what we're building - Flexible, remote-first work environment HOW TO APPLY Please include a link to your GitHub, a portfolio of past projects, or a brief description of a technical challenge you've solved recently. We care about how you think through problems, not just what languages you know.
