Full job details

We're hiring a Junior Software Engineer to build the internal tools and AI-powered workflows that support our K-12 campuses. You'll work on real software that goes into production, with heavy use of AI coding assistants as part of the day-to-day. We move fast: a project should go from idea to production in days, not weeks.

This is an early-career role, but we're looking for someone who has already built things on their own. If you've used Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex to ship a working agentic workflow, automated something useful, or built a small app start to finish, you're the kind of engineer we want to talk to. We care more about what you've built than where you went to school or how many years you have on a resume.

What You'll Do
  • Build Agentic Workflows: Design, build, and deploy multi-step AI workflows that handle real work across recruiting, marketing, and operations. This includes the prompts, the tool calls, the error handling, and the monitoring.
  • Develop Reusable Agent Skills: Build Agent Skills that standardize how our AI handles recurring tasks, then improve them over time based on how they perform in production.
  • Generate Production AI Media: Use Nano Banana Pro and similar image models to produce on-brand visuals for ads, social content, and campus materials.
  • Work Daily in AI Coding Tools: Use Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex as your primary development environment. Know when to let the AI take the lead, when to guide it, and when to write the code yourself.
  • Build API Integrations: Develop integrations and automation scripts that connect the tools we use every day, including Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, Workable, and our AI providers.
  • Own Your Projects: Take projects from idea to production, including the less glamorous parts: logging, error handling, monitoring, and keeping things running once they ship.
  • Hands-On AI Coding Experience: You use Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex regularly. You can show us projects where AI coding tools were central to how you built them, and you have opinions on which tool to use and when.
  • You've Built Agentic Workflows That Actually Work: Not just a demo or a tutorial. Something real, used by real people, that handles edge cases. Be ready to walk us through how you built it and what you learned when it broke.
  • You Generate AI Images at a Working Level: You've used Nano Banana Pro or similar image models to produce finished assets, and you know the strengths and limits of the tools you use.
  • Solid Software Engineering Basics: You can read a codebase, debug a problem, build a small API integration on your own, and write code that someone else can maintain. You understand webhooks, basic data storage, and how to keep things from breaking in production.
  • You Finish What You Start: You communicate clearly, flag blockers early, and get projects across the finish line. Speed matters, but completion matters more.
  • Location: Remote (U.S.). U.S. work authorization required.

Bonus Points
  • SEO Experience: You've worked on real SEO projects and can point to traffic or ranking results you helped drive.
  • Public Work to Show: A GitHub profile, a personal site, a blog post about something you built, or a walkthrough video. Anything that lets us see how you think and what you have done.
  • SQL and Spreadsheets: You're comfortable writing queries, cleaning up data, and pulling reports when the situation calls for it.
  • AI Video Generation: You've used Veo, Seedance, Kling, or similar tools to produce video clips. Not required to start, but a real plus.
