Full Stack Software Engineer
About this role
We're looking for an exceptional full-stack engineer who orchestrates AI agents to ship start to finish faster than a team many times larger. You'll own core systems from zero to one, wire LLMs into real workflows, and find patterns in the nation's largest college-applications dataset, where privacy and correctness aren't optional.
We're sprinters, and we want another with rare dev ability and the drive to match: someone who puts the mission first, takes things and runs, and gets sharper every week.
Additional strengths in security, data analytics, or product management is useful.
What you'll do
Own core systems end to end, from first commit to production
Ship weekly into a product counselors use for real, high-stakes decisions
Wire LLMs into real production workflows, not demos
Make architecture calls that trade speed against reliability, security, and scale
Work without detailed specs: define the problem, then solve it
