Job description

Founded in 2023, Flint is an AI-powered platform built for schools. In three years, we've partnered with hundreds of schools across the U.S. and internationally, supporting 750,000+ students.

We're building an agentic learning system where students actually learn, teachers can understand and improve that learning, and every interaction makes the next one better.

The Role

We're looking for a Product Engineer who loves building customer-facing products and has experience helping products go from 1 → 10.

You'll work as a generalist across the stack, closely with product and design, and own problems end-to-end—from understanding what users need to building, shipping, and iterating on the solution.

This is not a role where you'll receive perfectly scoped tickets and implement them. You'll be expected to understand the product, make good decisions under ambiguity, and take ownership of getting great products into users' hands.

What You'll Do

Build and ship products used by teachers and students every day

Own features end-to-end, from understanding the problem to implementation, launch, and iteration

Work across the stack wherever needed to solve the problem

Collaborate closely with product and design to turn user needs into great product experiences

Talk to users, understand how they use what you build, and incorporate feedback quickly

Improve existing products and systems as they grow in usage and complexity

Make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, quality, and scalability

Use AI deeply to build better products and increase your own leverage

Who You Are

You have experience building and shipping customer-facing software

You've helped a startup or product grow from 1 → 10, and understand how building changes as a product matures

You're a generalist who is comfortable working across frontend, backend, and product

You care about the details of the user experience, not just whether the code works

You have strong product judgment and can make progress without a perfectly specified roadmap

You move quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality

You communicate proactively and work well with product, design, and other engineers

You prefer ownership over narrow roles

You're comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment

We care much more about what you've built, the problems you've owned, and how you think than a specific number of years of experience.

Our Stack

TypeScript, React, Next.js, Postgres, Supabase, Vercel, and AI systems.

You don't need experience with every technology in our stack. We care more about your ability to learn quickly, work across boundaries, and build great products.

Why Flint

Work on a product used by hundreds of schools and hundreds of thousands of students

Help build a new category of learning system that goes beyond the traditional LMS

Join a small team where individual engineers have significant ownership and impact

Work closely with product, design, and customers rather than operating within a narrow engineering lane

Own meaningful parts of the product as Flint grows

Solve challenging product and engineering problems with real-world impact

Compensation

$160K–$190K base + meaningful equity

Compensation for remote candidates may vary based on location.
