Job Overview:

We’re seeking a Full-Stack AI Engineer to join a small, cross-functional team focused on building AI-native learning experiences from the ground up. This is a high-impact role where you’ll create innovative, personalized learning features, experiment with new AI capabilities, and move fast from concept to prototype to production.

You’ll work closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers in a maker-driven environment where everyone contributes directly to building the product. The role emphasizes practical use of Generative AI—both in the features we ship and in how you work every day.

This role is an in-person role in our Mountain View office. 

Responsibilities:

  • Build and ship full-stack features using React (or similar), Node.js, and Python.
  • Create AI-driven learning experiences—including hyper-personalization, adaptive content, and intelligent assistance—by leveraging Generative AI frameworks, APIs, and orchestration tools.
  • Use AI proactively in your development workflow for scaffolding, refactoring, and testing code—while critically reviewing AI-generated output for quality and performance.
  • Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on ideas based on user feedback.
  • Collaborate across disciplines to integrate AI capabilities into seamless, intuitive user experiences.
  • Implement and maintain robust testing, deployment, and monitoring for AI-enabled features.
Why You’ll Love This Role
  • Impact: Help shape the future of personalized education for millions of learners worldwide.
  • Velocity: Work in a fast-moving environment with short iteration cycles and room for bold experimentation.
  • Innovation: Build AI-native features and workflows from scratch, unencumbered by legacy constraints.
  • Culture: Join a collaborative, hands-on team where your ideas can go from sketch to shipped in weeks.

Basic Qualifications:

  • 1–4 years of professional experience in full-stack development (React/Next.js, Node.js, Python) and working with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Knowledge of Generative AI concepts and experience applying them to create practical, user-facing applications.
  • Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to speed up development without compromising quality.
  • Understanding of RESTful API design, databases (SQL/NoSQL), and modern application architectures.
  • Bonus: familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, or vector databases.
  • Strong communication skills, curiosity, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in online learning.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
