- Build responsive, intuitive, and high-quality frontend experiences for learners and internal teams.
- Design, develop, and maintain backend services, APIs, databases, and integrations.
- Work closely with the founders and product team to translate product ideas into technical solutions.
- Integrate third-party APIs, AI tools, payment systems, authentication systems, and other external services.
- Build and maintain scalable systems that can support a growing learner and user base.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code across the frontend and backend.
- Identify and fix bugs, performance issues, and technical bottlenecks proactively.

- Work with databases to design schemas, write queries, and optimize data access.
- Participate in code reviews and maintain engineering best practices.
- Take ownership of deployments, testing, debugging, and ongoing product improvements.
