Responsibilities

• Scale teacher avatars to 300K+ active students: live avatars, real-time sync and agent-run experiments.
• Design systems that improve speed, visibility, data quality, and execution across the funnel via APIs and integrations.
• Partner with co-founders to understand acquisition motion and bottlenecks.
• Measure performance, adoption and business impact and iterate accordingly.
• Close leaks in the funnel: convert visitors to activated users.
• Enable end-to-end model experimentation by agents in real classrooms.
• Create sharable artifacts from real student sessions while removing sensitive data.

Job description

Our client is an AI edtech startup that lets teachers clone themselves and students draw, speak and type to get instant feedback while learning math.

Goblins is an AI tutor for K-12 math. It lets students draw, speak, or type on any device to get instant feedback. With over $1M in funding, backed by the Gates Foundation, Reid Hoffman, Z Fellows, and others, we are scaling and looking to bring on a product and growth engineer to propel growth. Currently we serve over 50,000 students - implemented in some of the biggest school districts in the US like Baltimore County, Plano and Little Rock. Our goal is to inspire 1 billion kids to love learning!

We are looking for a product engineer to own running growth experiments, track results and iterate to hit key funnel metrics, and scale our teacher avatar to 300k students. Getting teachers and school districts to implement a new learning product requires creativity and constant iteration.

About You:

• 1+ years of experience in product engineering at a startup
• Bonus points for folks who understand product led growth motions
• Demonstrated ability to build and execute in early startup environment
• Track record of deploying and building AI powered tools, automations or agentic workflows
• Self starter, high agency, thrives with little structure
• Technical degree from accredited university
• Analytical mindset with experience in pipeline metrics

Key Responsibilities:

We are looking for someone to help build the systems that take Goblins to 300K+ active students: live avatars, real-time sync and agent-run experiments. You’ll be engineer #3

• Scale teacher avatars to 300K students. Ensure they run smoothly at scale while cutting latency and cost - think hard about reliability without crashing school’s network
• Design systems that improve speed, visibility, data quality, and execution across the funnel from top of funnel to retention, connect systems through APIs, webhooks, integrations, and automation layers
• Partner with co-founders to understand how our acquisition motion works today and where it breaks
• Measure performance, adoption and business impact of what you build and improve it over time
• Close the biggest leaks in the funnel: getting more visitors to the product's core value moment and converting them into activated users
• Make model experimentation something an agent can run end to end. We test new models against each other in real classrooms
• Create sharable artifacts from real student sessions - find best moments, strip out sensitive information and produce replays
• Our real team engine (think Linear) keeps every student’s whiteboard and teacher’s dashboards instantly in sync - help ensure this holds up without melting our servers or the school’s wifi

How we Build:

We’re all in on agentic development. It’s normal for us to have 5 or more agents running per person at any given moment. We’d rather orchestrate agents than grind code out by hand. Under the hood we are big on Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, Bun, and Linear

• $150K - $250K + equity
• Competitive equity package
• Flexible PTO
• Chance to rapidly accelerate career and do something meaningful in education!
