About The Position

We are hiring Problem Solvers: builders who can take ownership of a product and drive it from zero to scale. You may work on an established product such as our AI grading platform, or lead the creation of an entirely new product within the Pensive ecosystem. In this role, you will operate as a mini founder inside the company, responsible for turning ambiguous problems into products used by thousands of instructors and students.

Requirements

• Must be able to build and ship MVPs independently.
• Basic engineering ability to build web or mobile prototypes.
• Experience using AI-powered coding tools and agentic development workflows.
• Ability to rapidly translate ideas into working products.

Responsibilities

• Own a product end-to-end, from identifying the problem to shipping solutions and growing adoption.
• Design, build, and launch MVPs quickly to test new ideas.
• Work across product, engineering, and data to create high-quality user experiences.
• Talk to instructors, students, and employers to deeply understand their problems.
• Iterate rapidly through the cycle of hypothesis → rapid prototyping → customer validation → improvement to find product–market fit.
