About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who loves using AI to unlock insights and speed things up - but knows that great systems aren’t built with prompts alone. We see AI as a tool, not the whole job. You’ll use it to speed things up and surface insights, but most of the work is still solid, practical engineering.

If you're excited by the idea that people today can accomplish significantly more while spending less time and effort, and you're eager to boost your efficiency with cutting-edge technology, join our team. All of our coworkers are exceptional, and we want a few more exceptional people to join us in building the future of education.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance full-stack applications with a focus on speed, security, and reliability
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to deliver impactful features across internal tools and customer-facing platforms
• Leverage AI technologies to enhance user experience and streamline workflows
• Optimize backend infrastructure and APIs for scalability and efficiency
• Participate in product planning and contribute to shaping the engineering roadmap
• Conduct code reviews and help establish best practices to ensure technical excellence
• Proactively identify system bottlenecks and implement sustainable, long-term solutions.

Tech Stack You’ll Use:

• Front-End: TypeScript, React.js, Next.js
• Back-End: Node.js, tRPC
• AI/ML: Gemini, Vertex AI
• Infrastructure: GCP, Cloud Run, Cloud Tasks, Kubernetes, Redis
• Databases: PostgreSQL, Spanner, BigQuery

Requirements

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience with TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, and Node.js
• 5+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling both backend services and frontend applications
• Strong understanding of PostgreSQL and performance optimization; familiarity with Spanner is a plus
• Practical experience using Gemini or OpenAI APIs — beyond consumer tools like ChatGPT, with hands-on implementation and prompt engineering for specific use cases
• Skilled in managing complex projects and writing clean, maintainable, production-ready code
• Comfortable operating autonomously and taking ownership of end-to-end feature delivery
• Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English
• Bonus: Experience in EdTech or working in a fast-paced startup environment.

Benefits

• Contract Structure & Compensation
  • Contract Type: Independent Contractor (Global)
  • Please note: contractors are responsible for their own taxes and benefits in compliance with their local regulations.

Why Woolf

• Global Impact: Work with education leaders worldwide to shape the future of learning.
• Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere with a schedule that fits your lifestyle.
• Growth Potential: Join a fast-growing company with opportunities to expand your role.
