Job Description

SchooLinks is a venture-backed ed-tech company that is changing how students explore and pursue their post-high school goals. We have a suite of over 80 tools for students and school staff including college application management, course planning, financial aid planning, personality assessments, college profiles, and many others.

 

We are looking for a Full-Stack Product Engineer who ships complete features autonomously. This role is for engineers who work AI-native: using tools like Claude to write specs, build, QA, document, and communicate their work across the organization.

 

Engineers in this role collaborate with Product and Engineering leadership to validate direction, then own execution end-to-end. Strong candidates are comfortable with ambiguity, iterate quickly, and take responsibility for how their work lands with Marketing, Customer Success, and other teams.

 

This role is for engineers based in Austin, Texas. We do not have the ability to sponsor H-1B Visas.

What you’ll do

• Own features end-to-end: write specs and plan with Claude, build, QA, write release notes, create product documentation, and socialize changes with Marketing, Customer Success, and other teams

• Collaborate with Product and Engineering leadership to align on solutions, then execute autonomously once direction is set

• Ship clean, readable, and maintainable full-stack code across our Django backend and React frontend

• Use AI tools as a core part of your workflow for planning, building, and delivering

• Iterate rapidly on solutions by proposing, testing, and refining ideas

• Write tests and address technical debt to elevate codebase quality

• Design and build solutions that scale to millions of users

• Review requirements and user stories and provide timely, meaningful feedback

• Participate in on-call rotations
