About the role
- We're seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our team and help scale our Node.js applications on AWS.
- This role is different from a traditional engineering position: we've fully embraced AI-assisted development, and we expect most code to be written by AI tools.
Responsibilities
- Guide AI coding assistants to implement large-scale changes and new features
- Today, Edia supports 200+ districts across the country (e.g. New York City, Denver, Fulton County, San Francisco, etc.).
Nice to have
- Frontend experience (React)-you'll be reading it regardless
- Startup experience
- Why This Role Is Different
- We're not looking for someone who wants to write every line of code themselves.
Skills
- Fast at reading code, human or AI generated
- Strong debugging skills and an eye for bugs
- Capacity to envision large architectural changes and break them into steps an AI can execute
- Ability to context switch and juggle multiple in flight tasks
- Experience with Node.js and cloud infrastructure (AWS, containers, managed databases)
- Comfort working across multiple codebases and problem domains
- What sets you apart:
- You think at systems scale
- You're effective at communicating intent to AI tools and iterating on their output
- You have good judgment about when to accept AI suggestions and when to push back
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and can take ownership of loosely-defined problems
- Your job is to direct that process effectively.
Benefits
- Edia is a Series A technology startup revolutionizing K-12 education with AI-driven solutions.
- We develop software to improve math education, tackle chronic absenteeism, and improve intervention processes for school districts.
Company info
- What We're Looking For
