hn · PrairieLearn (Remote US) — Full-Stack Software Engineer — TypeScript / Postgres / React / AI
Jose is an exceptional match with deep full-stack expertise across all core technologies (TypeScript, PostgreSQL, React, Node.js, AWS), proven ability to ship production AI products end-to-end, and recent experience building LLM agents and real-time AI systems. His founding engineer background at Addie building multi-channel AI products and his AI/ML credential (M.S. in AI) directly align with PrairieLearn's development of AI tooling for content creation and grading. The only minor gap is lack of explicit vision-language model experience, but his strong ML foundation and track record of owning architecture decisions across complex systems makes him an ideal early-stage hire.
Hook: Your founding engineer experience shipping real-time AI products at scale and your M.S. in AI make you an ideal fit for PrairieLearn's mission to build AI tooling for education—you've already proven you can own the full stack from day one.
Missing: Vision-language models for grading applications, Large-scale university/education platform experience
