Senior Software Engineer
Our client is building a new kind of learning experience for children.
Their first product is a learning companion for kids ages 5-10 that listens, talks, and teaches math and reading through stories built around what each child is curious about. Behind the experience is a learning graph that understands what a child already knows, what they are working on, and what should come next.
They are a small team building across AI, software, hardware, learning science, and storytelling. They are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help turn ideas into working experiences at extraordinary speed.
The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer , you'll sit at the intersection of engineering, AI tooling, and creative product development .
You'll build the systems that allow the team to go from an idea to a working, student-testable experience in days instead of weeks. You'll work closely with engineers, designers, curriculum experts, and storytellers to make prototyping faster, more collaborative, and easier to turn into production software.
This isn't a traditional feature-engineering role. You'll spend a lot of time building the tools and infrastructure that help the entire team build .
You'll experiment with new AI development workflows, create reusable scaffolding for prototypes, build generative asset pipelines, and develop systems that let agents work autonomously across projects. You'll also help bridge the gap between rapidly built prototypes and reliable production software.
What You'll Do
Build Autonomous AI Development Workflows
Build systems for long-running agent tasks that can execute asynchronously and overnight
Create runners, queues, and orchestration systems that allow agents to work across multiple repositories in parallel
Reduce the amount of manual prompting and supervision required to get engineering work done
Experiment with new agentic development workflows and integrate the ones that prove useful into the studio
Build Collaborative Agent Tooling
Move the team beyond isolated 1:1 AI sessions toward shared, collaborative agent workspaces
Connect agent workflows into tools like Slack and Linear so work is visible and accessible across the team
Build systems for triggering, monitoring, and coordinating agent work
Help establish a development environment where engineers, designers, and creative teams can work with AI together
Build Generative Creative Pipelines
Build multimodal AI pipelines for generating images, video, music, sound effects, stories, and other creative assets
Create tools and scaffolding that allow curriculum designers and creators to rapidly produce new activities and experiences
Turn emerging generative AI capabilities into practical tools the studio can actually use
Build reusable infrastructure rather than one-off demos
Turn Prototypes Into Production
Create SDKs and starter modules that make production capabilities easy to use in new…
