Senior Backend Engineer
Edia · United States
About this role
## About Edia Edia is the leading AI technology company in K-12 education, helping 1M+ students across the U.S. have an exceptional experience in school. ## About the Role We’re seeking a **Senior Backend Engineer** to join our team and help scale our **Node.js applications on AWS**. This role is different from a traditional engineering position: we’ve fully embraced **AI-assisted development**, and we expect most code to be written by AI tools. Your job is to **direct that process effectively**. You’ll work across our entire product suite and internal tools—building robust systems that serve educators and students, while also using AI to automate our business operations. ## What You’ll Do - Architect and oversee backend systems across our product lineup and internal tooling - Guide AI coding assistants to implement large-scale changes and new features - Review, debug, and refine AI-generated code to production standards - Use AI internally to automate business operations - Ship full-stack features end-to-end ## What We’re Looking For ### Essential skills - Fast at reading code (human or AI generated) - Strong debugging skills and an eye for bugs - Ability to envision large architectural changes and break them into steps an AI can execute - Capacity to context switch and juggle multiple in-flight tasks - Experience with **Node.js** and cloud infrastructure (**AWS**, containers, managed databases) - Comfort working across multiple codebases and problem domains ### What sets you apart - You think at systems scale - You communicate intent clearly to AI tools and iterate on their output - You have good judgment about when to accept AI suggestions vs. push back - You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can take ownership of loosely-defined problems ### Nice to have - Frontend experience (**React**) — you’ll be reading it regardless - Startup experience ## Why This Role Is Different We’re not looking for someone who wants to write every line of code themselves. We’re looking for someone who can leverage AI to move faster than traditional development allows—while maintaining the quality and reliability our school district partners depend on. If you’re excited about working at the frontier of how software gets built, we’d love to hear from you. ## Work Authorization We are currently unable to sponsor or transfer work authorization for all jobs. If things change in the future, we’ll be sure to update this section. We appreciate your interest in Edia. Feel free to follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/edia-app/
