About Eigen

Eigen builds AI-powered products that transform the world's largest companies.

While enterprises recognize AI's potential, they often lack the expertise and agility to harness it. Eigen brings together elite engineering talent from leading AI companies & research labs to ship products for them with language models at their core.

We're a profitable, growing business with talent from Stanford AI Lab, Harvard, Uber, Tinder, and Superhuman. Our clients represent $50B+ in market cap and $250B+ in AUM.

Your First Assignment

Your first project at Eigen: building AI systems that teach thousands of students how to read and write.

One of our clients is Alpha School, a well-funded and ambitious organization setting out to change K-12 education. The results are groundbreaking: students crush their academic goals in just two hours a day, freeing up the other six to discover new interests, explore passions, and develop crucial life skills. Alpha students learn 2x faster than their peers and place in the top 1% of students nationwide.

Alpha's mission is to bring the2 Hour Learning model to millions of students around the globe, and that starts with building great software. Eigen's edtech apps put LLMs at the heart of subjects like reading and writing, giving students instant, personalized feedback and allowing them to learn about things they love.

The Role

We're looking for an exceptional fullstack engineer to join as our 6th team member.

You bring:

• 5+ years of experience building products that people love

• Technical excellence with TypeScript and React

• Experience building with LLMs (OpenAI & Anthropic) in production

• A product-first mindset to the code you write

• An ownership mentality — experience driving projects from concept to completion

What sets the best candidates apart:

• History of building and shipping independent software projects

• Track record at early-stage startups

• Experience leading customer-facing technical projects

• History of mentoring engineers and driving technical decisions

• Ability to move fast while maintaining high standards

Work at Eigen

Growth & Impact

We're building for the long term. By joining Eigen, you're not joining a single client project but an elite engineering team at the forefront of AI that intends to build together for years. (We believe that if you can't count durable relationships among the fruits of your time at work, you haven't invested your time well.)

As we grow, you'll have the opportunity to level up as an IC, lead entire teams, own entire client relationships from start to finish, and/or launch new lines of business with us.

Compensation

• Base: $210,000-$280,000

• Performance Bonus: Up to 100% of base

• Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401k, etc.

Work Environment

• Remote-first culture with HQ in Austin, TX

• Location: Remote (US) with in person gatherings once a quarter

• Work directly with the founding team and senior engineers

• Daily usage of the latest AI tooling

Why this opportunity is unique

Education is experiencing its most profound transformation since the industrial revolution. While many EdTech companies struggle to influence change from the outside, Eigen's partnership with Alpha School is reimagining education from the ground up through ownership and operation of its own network of schools.

At the heart of this revolution is "2 Hour Learning" – a breakthrough learning model that helps students master core subjects in just two hours per day, freeing them to pursue deeper interests, projects, and real-world applications. With proven results across hundreds of students and significant backing to expand nationally, this model is positioned to reshape how future generations learn.

You'll build the technology platform driving this transformation. Your code will immediately impact real classrooms, not theoretical users. Working directly with teachers and students, you'll solve complex challenges in adaptive learning and help scale a model that's already showing remarkable outcomes.
