## About the role

Get acquainted with the React/TypeScript app, the Supabase backend, the content pipeline, and the agent fleets that feed it. Take ownership of your first fleet — write the spec, build the harness, set the QA gate — and start shipping through it. Design the roadmap with me: ~50% shipping product across the stack, ~25% building and running agent infrastructure, ~25% talking to teachers, students, and districts — and turning what you hear into the roadmap.

## What they're looking for

- Has 5+ years shipping products that real end users touch daily, and has opinions about what makes them good
- Is high-agency: can take ambiguous feedback and turn it into shipped product without waiting for a spec
- Is expert-level with AI coding tools and uses them to move dramatically faster — without outsourcing judgment to them
- Gets excited, not exhausted, by the idea of managing a dozen concurrent agents
- Wants tight feedback loops with real users (some of whom are eleven)
- Has high schlep tolerance — roster CSV imports, school-device performance quirks, and school-specific customization are part of the job and part of why we win
