WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own Large Platform Projects

• Take major features from concept to shipped: scoping, architecture, implementation, and rollout.

• Own whole product areas end to end, whether it's the institution admin experience, the faculty tools for configuring AI assistants, or the student-facing product.

• Partner with product and design to turn ambiguous customer needs into concrete, shippable product.

Full-Stack Feature Development

• Ship features end-to-end in TypeScript, across the client, server, and database.

• Build and extend the integrations that connect Nectir to the systems institutions already use.

• Write performant, typed, test-covered code that's safe to change.

Quality, Performance, and Craft

• Debug production issues across the stack, from the client to background services.

• Raise the bar on code quality, test coverage, and architectural clarity.

• Partner with DevOps on deployment, observability, and incident response.

AI-Augmented Development

• Use AI coding tools as a daily part of how you build.

• Scope work so agents handle what they do well and you own what they can't.

• Collaborate on AI-facing product features alongside AI engineering when they cross into the platform.

Team and Leverage

• Mentor teammates, review code thoughtfully, and strengthen the engineering culture.

• Contribute to architectural decisions as the platform scales.

• Communicate clearly in an async, distributed environment.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must-Haves

• Strong full-stack engineering foundation: systems thinking, debugging, architecture, and the ability to reason about code you didn't write.

• Deep experience with TypeScript across both frontend and backend. Our entire stack is TypeScript.

• Track record of shipping and owning large, user-facing features in production web applications.

• Comfort working directly with relational databases like Postgres.

• Product mindset: you build cohesive experiences for real users, not just features. You have intuition for what's going to feel right before you ship it.

• Proficiency with AI coding tools as part of your daily workflow. We are an AI company, and fluency here is non-negotiable.

• Proactive, self-directed communication. You manage your own time, meet deadlines, and flag blockers before they become problems.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with modern full-stack React frameworks and server-rendered UI.

• Experience integrating with LMS platforms or LTI.

• Familiarity with background workers and durable job processing.

• A track record outside of day jobs: a company you started, an open-source project you maintain, or side projects you keep shipping.

• Deep curiosity about AI, or a real passion for education.

No degree requirements. What you know and can do is more important than where you learned it.

WORKING AT NECTIR

We're a startup, which means the work moves fast, but the impact is real. You will not be a small cog in a big machine here, but the one building the machine itself.

This is a full-time, remote position, open to candidates anywhere in Latin America. You should be comfortable working with a significant overlap with US business hours.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive base salary

• Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, and vision (for US-based roles only)

• 401k with employer match (for US-based roles only)

• Equity (stock options), so you share in what we're building

• Flexible, remote-first work environment

HOW TO APPLY

Please include a link to your GitHub, a portfolio of past projects, or a brief description of a technical challenge you've solved recently. We care about how you think through problems, not just what languages you know.
