outcomes such as improved ranks, job placements, and sustained career progression. Currently in

stealth mode.

Team members work on cutting-edge learning technologies that aim to redefine how learners

About the Role

We're looking for a backend developer who thinks critically about system design, clean code, and

long-term scalability. You'll be part of a lean, fast-moving team, responsible for building and

maintaining the APIs and backend services that power our platform.

This is a high-ownership role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and

takes end-to-end responsibility for the systems they build.

What You'll Do

Develop and maintain highly scalable backend systems and APIs
Work with MongoDB and other data stores (NoSQL/SQL)
Design, deploy, and operate services on cloud infrastructure
Optimize performance and reliability at scale
Contribute to code reviews and system architecture decisions
Collaborate with the tech team in short feedback loops to ship, learn, and iterate quickly.

What We're Looking For

Experience: 3+ years of backend development experience
Languages: Proficiency in Python (preferably Django or Flask)
Databases: Strong hands-on experience with MongoDB or similar databases
Cloud: Experience building and deploying on cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure)
Architecture: Solid understanding of API design and backend architecture principles
Code Quality: Obsession with clean, maintainable code and modular design
Mindset: A “tech purist” approach you enjoy building things the right way, not just the

fastest way

Bonus: Exposure to early-stage startups, open-source contributions, or serious side projects
Education: Bachelor's degree in CS/Engineering or equivalent self-taught experience

Critical Aspects

No Vibe Coding: You can write, read, and reason through code independently. AI tools are an

accelerant, not a crutch

System Design Thinking: You think in terms of systems, trade-offs, and scale, not just

individual features
