Full-stack software engineer at an AI-education company, building and scaling features for a learning and assessment platform — from React/Next.js frontends to Node.js/PostgreSQL backend services — while using AI coding tools, agents, and LLM integrations to ship faster as a lean team.
Compensation: $110k – $140k • No equity
Company Description The Prompt Academy is hiring a Software Engineer to transform how people learn AI and technology skills. We're looking for a driven, product-minded, AI-first engineer who treats AI tools and automation as a default part of how they build — someone who can do the output of a much larger team by leaning on AI agents, code generation, and smart workflows. If you're excited to build a platform that teaches the world AI skills while using those same tools to scale your own impact, we'd love to hear from you!
Role Description This is a full-time, Software Engineer role working remotely from anywhere, U.S. preferred. The Software Engineer will be responsible for designing, building, and scaling features across our learning and assessment platform, from frontend interfaces to backend services.
Responsibilities include day-to-day development across the full stack, building and integrating AI-powered functionality, and supporting product initiatives from concept to launch. The role will also involve writing clean, well-tested code, maintaining the assessment and credentialing infrastructure, and collaborating closely with the broader product and design teams to drive user engagement and a high-quality experience.
