About This Role
This is a full-stack engineer's role with a heavy focus on our next stage of growth: Your objective is to ensure that every one of the 350K math teachers in the United States is using Goblins as soon as possible (it’s already the best tool for them — they just don’t know it yet). Pulling this off entails a hacker’s mind (how can you subvert the system towards benevolent ends), a strong grasp on human psychology, an extreme sense of urgency, and full-stack technical chops.
This is a role for a self-starter: Your day-to-day work will be highly self-directed. You’ll design the experiments, build them, measure them, and double down or regroup, until you’ve hit the goal.
You'll also have opportunities to support the product team in an ops capacity, using the same bootstrapping mentality to expand curriculum, engineer our way past local/state bureaucracy, and beyond.

About Goblins
In the the typical American classroom, kids get 1/30th of their teachers' attention, and everyone learns at the same pace. This is an enormous bottleneck to their learning.
Enter Goblins Math. Goblins teaches math 4x faster than the typical classroom. Think of it like having 30 teachers in a single class: It lets students draw math on any device, and it figures out the "why" behind their confusion, giving them instant feedback, building their conceptual foundation, and inspiring them to love math.
We're building the backbone of the AI-led school, on the journey to inspiring 1 billion kids to love to learn.
Goblins serves 20,000 paid students across the US, growing 2x MoM. We’ve raised $4.5M from the Gates Foundation and top-tier funds.
We are in the unique position of having a product that is both highly differentiated and demanded. We’ve nailed retention and tight PMF, and it’s time to grow, fast.
