Founding Full-Stack Engineer - LAMP / EdTech AI (Remote)

About GradeGenieGradeGenie is an Antler and Nvidia-supported AI Copilot for educators, universities, and international schools. We’re post-MVP and revenue-generating. If you’re resourceful, scrappy, and obsessed with building real AI systems (not just writing prompts), you’ll thrive here.
The RoleWe move fast and ship what matters. You will:▪️ Work directly with the founder to build 0 → 1 features on a LAMP stack▪️ Architect and maintain multi-agent workflows (CrewAI, LangGraph, or custom)▪️ Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines, vector stores, and inline citations▪️ Stand up staging / pre-prod / prod environments with branch-based deploys, migrations, smoke tests, and instant rollback▪️ Build CI/CD, containerisation, and structured logging + alerting (Datadog/Sentry/ELK) so every push is safe and observable▪️ Create high-throughput bulk processors that queue 10 k+ PDFs, stream progress, and cap token spend▪️ Integrate with LMS APIs (Canvas, Moodle) and SSO (OAuth, SAML)▪️ Ship educator-facing dashboards, settings, and analytics with minimal hand-holding
OutcomesOutcome 1 – Multi-Agent Engine Live▪️ < 2 s p95 latency, 99.9 % uptimeOutcome 2 – Safe & Scalable Delivery▪️ Automated tests on every PR, gated staging deploys, zero-downtime prod releases for hundreds and thousands of usersOutcome 3 – Full Observability▪️ Dashboards for usage, token spend, agent performance, and error budgets
