Role
Who you are
- Proven track record in AI/ML systems development and deployment at scale
- Hands-on experience with orchestration and lifecycle tools (LangSmith, Airflow, MLFlow, Kubeflow, or similar)
- Strong backend expertise in Node.js and REST API design, JavaScript and TypeScript
- Experience building modern SPAs with Vue 3
- Solid understanding of relational and document databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB)

- Familiarity with higher education domain workflows (e.g., academic scheduling, curriculum management)
- Experience with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) for AI systems
- Contributions to internal developer platforms or shared infrastructure projects
What the job involves
- This is a full-stack, enablement-focused role — your work won’t just ship features directly, it will multiply the velocity and impact of every engineering team
- AI Platform Development – Build and maintain reusable AI services, APIs, and orchestration pipelines (e.g., LangSmith, Airflow, MLFlow) to support cross-team AI initiatives
- Developer Enablement – Provide tooling, SDKs, and documentation so product teams can easily integrate AI features into their modules without deep ML expertise
- Orchestration & Observability – Implement robust workflows for data ingestion, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring at scale
- Full-Stack Engineering – Build backend APIs in Node.js and deliver reference frontends in Vue to demonstrate and validate platform capabilities
- Collaboration & Mentorship – Partner with product pod engineers to guide AI adoption best practices, debug integration issues, and promote platform consistency
- Architecture Leadership – Influence system design for scalability, performance, and maintainability across multiple product lines
Our take
In the US, many higher education students are not able to fulfil the classes they need to graduate in four years. This results in higher costs, which exacerbates issues surrounding equitable access. Coursedog has set out to solve this with an integrated academic operations platform that helps institutions maximize their efficiency.
Essentially, the company is combatting a scheduling problem. Its curriculum-mapping software helps institutions to make the right classes available for students to complete their courses. In turn, these students are empowered to graduate on schedule - reducing both frustration and cost.
Coursedog has partnered with over 400 higher education institutions, serving more than 3.3 million students in the process. Although there is some competition in the space, the company has a strong footing and established reputation that should support it to find continued success.
