We’re growing fast with backing from top-tier investors and a mission that’s redefining the future of education and ethical learning.\n\nWhy this role exists\nWe're a technology company building AI-native learning products used by more than seven million students worldwide, alongside Honen, our workforce-learning platform for organizations. Both run on the Learn Engine, the intelligence that moves a learner from initial understanding to demonstrated mastery. We work with partners like NVIDIA to bring responsible, learning-first AI to the students who need it most.\n\nThis is a founding‑team role. You'll work directly with the people making the decisions, own meaningful parts of the product, and ship AI features that reach millions of learners, not prototypes that stall at the demo stage.\n\nWhat we believe\nEvery learner deserves the chance to succeed. StudyFetch started with one idea: high-quality, personalized learning should be within reach for anyone, at any stage of life. Honen carries that belief into the workforce.\n\nAccessible to everyone. Learning should reach every person, whatever their background, role, or resources.\n\nMeet people where they are. Every course adapts to a person's pace, their level, and the way they learn best.\n\nLearning never stops. From a first job to a new career, people keep growing at every stage of life.\n\nWe hire people who share this conviction. The work is demanding and the hours can be long, and what sustains you through it is caring whether a real student finally understands the material.\n\nWhat you'll own\n\nWhole product surfaces, end to end. The decision to build, the architecture, production, and the on‑call that follows. You own the outcome.\n\nAI and LLM features in the live product. Prompt and eval pipelines, retrieval, agent workflows, and the demanding work of keeping latency, cost, and model behavior reliable for real users at scale.\n\nFull‑stack work across web and mobile. You decide where the line between client, server, and model belongs, and you stand behind it.\n\nThe bar for the team. The patterns you set are the ones the rest of the team follows.\n\nWhat we're looking for\nYou're a strong fit if either of these is true:\n\n7+ years building and shipping production software, with real depth in fullstack and applied AI.\n\nYou were a founding or early engineer who owned a significant share of a real product. Fewer years on paper, but you took something from nothing to live users and can demonstrate it.\n\nBeyond that:\n\nYou’ve shipped AI to production with real users, not demos. This is the requirement that matters most.\n\nYou use AI every day and have informed opinions about it.\n\nYou’ve worked through launch crunch and know how you stay effective under pressure.\n\nYou're candid about tradeoffs.\n\nThe mission is why you're here.\n\nThe stack you'll work in\n\nFrontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind\n\nBackend: Node.js, Express, REST API design, serverless, k8s\n\nAI/LLM: LLM application development, prompt engineering, evals, RAG, agent workflows, vllm\n\nMongoDB and PostgreSQL; working knowledge of vector databases\n\nCloud: AWS (Bedrock, Lambda, S3, VPC), Vercel\n\nMobile: React Native (iOS/Android)\n\nWhat to expect\n\nThis is an in‑person role at a fast pace, with periods of intense work around major launches.\n\nYou’ll have significant ownership and autonomy with limited oversight.\n\nIt’s a strong fit for engineers who have shipped production AI to real users.\n\nCompensation & benefits\n\n$170,000–$270,000 base salary, plus equity\n\n100% employer‑paid Medical, Dental, and Vision; 75% dependent coverage\n\n401(k) with employer matching\n\nDaily team dinner provided in‑office\n\nA small, mission‑driven team changing how the world learns\n\nThe pay range for this role is: 170,000 - 270,000 USD per year (STUDYFETCH INC.)\n\n#J-18808-Ljbffr","company":"Studyfetch","rawCompany":"studyfetch","city":"Beverly Hills","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-06-26T05:32:01.925Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"17-2199.00","title":"Engineers, All Other","slug":"engineers-all-other"},{"code":"15-1299.08","title":"Computer Systems Engineers/Architects","slug":"computer-systems-engineers-architects"}],"industries":[{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Staff Engineer, Applied AI","description":"Staff Engineer, Applied AI\nStudyfetch Beverly Hills, California, United States\n\nAbout this position\nAbout Studyfetch: StudyFetch is the #1 AI-native learning platform globally, transforming how millions of students learn through personalized AI-powered education.
