Posted Mar 2Product Engineer (Remote - US CT/ET)
at Zen Educate
Chicago, United StatesRemote
Requirements
- Every place has its own understanding of what engineering excellence looks like (sometimes written down, sometimes not).
- This role is particularly exciting because you’ll be one of Zen’s first Product Engineers in the US, where we’re enjoying rapid growth.
- Today the platform we are building supports internal operations teams on filling roles, educators on finding roles via our mobile app and schools on getting educators in for both short-term and long-term roles.
- So here are a few glimpses from your potential peers of some of what they have done in a week: “I picked up an AI teacher qualification project that started out quite loosely defined, with no clear owner or scope.
- I also wired up audit logging around sensitive actions so we have proper traceability in production, and built out an admin UI so non-engineers can manage roles and permissions without needing to come to us." - João “I spent the week creating a foundational agents.md configuration for our monorepo to help us use AI more effectively when building product and writing code.
- I worked alongside the AI working group to support some of the bottlenecks we’ve been seeing in our development process, and made the setup clear and practical so other engineers could start using it straight away.” - Eimi “I implemented backend and frontend MixPanel events for crucial workflows to better understand how users interact with our product and what we can improve on." - Georgi “I spent the week upgrading our React Native app to the latest Expo SDK.
- Our core is Ruby on Rails, React, React Native, running on Heroku + Cloudflare etc. But we have also evaluated Amazon Personalise as a candidate for our matching system and spiked out our own AI powered knowledge-base as well as investigating AI for bug triaging.
- This means greater flexibility in what progression looks like, but requires you to build an understanding of what we value from guiding principles and shared real-world examples.
- experience of different parts of the product and shipping to production within days.
Benefits
- Type: Full-time Salary: Location dependent.
- As a guide, our current range across all levels is $130k-$190k.
- The more we develop the platform (and the ability to self-serve in the marketplace), the more efficient the whole process becomes, which means more money going back to educators and into classrooms (over $65 million globally since 2017).
