Founding Head of Engineering
2 weeks ago
Location: Austin, SF Bay Area, London, or Cardiff (hybrid/flexible)
Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity
Equal Teaching is reimagining how schools hire teachers for the school-choice era. With the rise of microschools, online schools, and AI-powered learning, the old models of teacher recruitment don’t work anymore. We’re already working with fast-growing alternative education providers — and now we’re building the platform to scale globally.
We’re looking for a Founding Head of Engineering / CTO to join our CEO (ex-teacher, product-first) in building an AI-native HRTech platform from the ground up.
Why You’ll Love This Role- Build from 0 → 1 — architect and ship our core product
- Tackle one of education’s biggest challenges: teacher retention & mobility
- Embed AI, automation, and matching intelligence from day one
- Shape how credentials, skills, and experiences are captured and verified in new ways
- Join a mission-driven startup at the fastest-growing edge of K12 education
- Own the system architecture and core technical roadmap
- Lead development of a platform that scales with AI, automation, and security baked in
- Partner closely with the CEO to shape product vision and execution
- Build and grow a small but mighty engineering team
Requirements
You Might Be a Fit If You…- Have full-stack experience (e.g. React, Python/Django, AWS or similar)
- Have shipped scalable products, ideally with AI/ML integration
- Thrive in 0→1 startup environments — scrappy, fast-moving, and impact-driven
- Care about education and believe tech can help great teachers thrive
Benefits
Competitive salary + equity
Real influence on product and company direction
Flexible work setup: Hybrid/flexible in Austin, SF Bay Area, London, or Cardiff
Mission with impact: Help solve the teacher retention crisis and shape the future of education
Equal Teaching is on a mission to help teachers find the schools where they can thrive, not just survive — and in doing so, to transform education for the next generation.
