Role

Who you are

You've served as the technical lead for a group of 5+ engineers and defined the technical roadmap for a user-facing product
10+ years of engineering experience — you still write excellent code and effective prompts
You've worked closely with product and business teams to drive business impact (i.e. you measure success in terms of impact, not just lines of code)

Desirable

The user-facing products you've built have been in the education space or have LLMs at their core. (Double bonus if both!)
You're up to speed on modern development tools; you use project management tools like Linear (preferred) or GitHub Projects to plan cycles and consistently ship
You leverage tools like Cursor to write more code, faster, and are committed to building an engineering team with this AI tooling at its core

What the job involves

As the Tech Lead of the Apex Learning team, you'll set the technical blueprint for our products, lead and grow the engineering team, and push code as a key contributor
You'll be responsible for the team's successful delivery of new features and products to students on a weekly basis
Provide product input and execute on roadmaps to accomplish Alpha School objectives
Build and maintain engineering infrastructure to ship tested, LLM-based software
