Responsibilities
Build Products That Matter: Architect software that engages, challenges, and inspires students to go deeper. Whether it's through gamification, AI-powered support, cleaner interfaces, or seamless integration with our paper books, you'll explore multiple approaches to create learning experiences that truly resonate. When the path forward isn't obvious, you'll pioneer the solutions that move our mission forward
Drive Strategic Evolution: Be a champion for continuous improvement—transforming legacy systems into modern platforms, refining our testing and deployment practices, and evolving our architecture for the future. When you spot technical debt or opportunities to adopt current frameworks, you'll take initiative to address them strategically. This isn't just refactoring, it's charting the technical path forward while keeping our products rock-solid for the students who depend on them
Elevate the Team: Through thoughtful code reviews and hands-on mentorship, you'll help teammates level up their skills. You're not just writing code, you're shaping how we think about architecture, design, and technical excellence across the team
Own the Entire Journey: From initial user conversations with Product and Design through launch and beyond, you'll be deeply involved in shaping what we build and how we build it. Your technical insights will influence product strategy, and you'll see your ideas come to life in the hands of real learners
Communicate Fearlessly: Keep stakeholders informed with clear timelines and early warnings when challenges emerge. No surprises: just transparent, proactive communication that helps the whole team move faster
Stay Sharp: Be curious about emerging web technologies and best practices, always expanding your toolkit and bringing fresh ideas to the team
Build AoPS Culture in SF: Help establish and amplify AoPS culture in our SF office. You'll get to know how we approach problem-solving through our values, mission, and collaborative spirit and translate that culture to the Bay Area while fostering strong connections with our teams at HQ
Prototype and Iterate: Prototype solutions quickly, test with families and iterate based on what you learn. Dig into user feedback and data to understand what's resonating and what's not
Work Across the Stack: Make technical decisions that balance moving fast with building foundations that scale, working across everything from React components to database schema and more
