PrairieLearn (https://www.prairielearn.com) is an open-source assessment platform used by universities across the US (Berkeley, Princeton, Michigan, Illinois, and others). We power mastery-based learning and large-scale exams.
We’re a small, profitable, early-stage company (bootstrapped, no VC) that is growing quickly. Our users love us and we have very high retention and rapid spread through word of mouth. As an early-stage hire, you’ll work across the stack and enjoy meaningful ownership from day one.
Tech we use: Node.js / TypeScript backend, Postgres, AWS, React. We’re also developing AI tooling, including building LLM agents to help instructors create content and using vision-language models to help grade student work. PrairieLearn is open core: https://github.com/PrairieLearn/PrairieLearn
Absolutely love this, amazing platform, I sent you my resume. It's not on there but I did TA work and Tutoring during my time attending Paul Allen School at UW, and I have really been wanting to do more work in the open source space.
Hopefully you can find my resume in the pile, but if nothing else expect to see a contribution from me in the next couple of days!
This sounds like an exciting product! As a CS grad with experience in building as a co-founder of Eshi-App, an AI-based language-learning app, and a heart to create a meaningful impact in my work, I would be interested in joining PrairieLearn's team. I work with the same stack as PrairieLearn's (TypeScript, Node, React, and Postgres) and have built an LLM into a production product. Therefore, the AI tooling you're building would be something I would want to start working on right away.
Have submitted my application and am looking forward to hearing from you!
