Job Description
Bridgeit at a Glance
Bridgeit is an AIpowered SaaS platform redefining how middle and highschool students plan their careers. By combining Generative AI, datadriven insights, and seamless school integrations, we empower students, counselors, and families to chart actionable paths from classroom to career.
As we move from MVP + pilots to rapid scaleup, we’re looking for a seasoned FullStack Solution Architect / Technical Lead who can own endtoend application architecture, drive engineering excellence, and mentor a small but mighty team.
Why This Role Matters
• Architect for scale: You’ll design the next generation of our Python/Django + Next.js platform to serve hundreds of schools and tens of thousands of concurrent users.
• Own the API contract: Define clean, versioned REST and eventdriven interfaces that power our AI services and partner integrations.
• Ship with velocity: Balance longterm architecture with short sprint cycles typical of an earlystage startup.
• Wear multiple hats: From DevOps and performance tuning to code reviews and mentoring internsyour fingerprints will be everywhere.
Key Responsibilities
What You’ll Do
Architecture & Design
Lead the overall solution architecture (frontend, backend, data, infrastructure). Translate product requirements and domain rules into resilient application designs. Champion DomainDriven Design and modular, testable codebases.
Backend Engineering
Own Python/Django (Ninja/Channels) services, designing REST APIs. Model data with Django ORM, Postgres, optimize queries and caching layers. Implement pub/sub and WebSocket patterns for realtime AI assistance.
Frontend Oversight
Guide engineers on Next.js 14 (App Router) and modern React patterns (TypeScript, Shadcn, Zustand). Ensure accessibility, performance (Core Web Vitals), and design consistency with Tailwind CSS.
Cloud & DevOps
Design and maintain GCP infrastructure (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Build, Artifact Registry). Implement CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform), automated testing, and bluegreen rollouts. Monitor and tune performance (OpenTelemetry, Sentry, Prometheus, Cloud Monitoring).
Scalability & Reliability
Define SLIs/SLOs, loadtest AI workflows, and establish autoscaling policies. Optimize connection pools (PgBouncer), caching (Redis/Cloud Memorystore), and async task queues (Cloud Tasks/Celery).
Leadership & Mentorship
Serve as technical owner for 4-7 engineers. Drive sprint planning (working with product team), code reviews, and technical debt management. Foster a culture of quality, documentation, and continuous learning.
What We’re Looking For
MustHaves
• 5 + years building production web applications, with 3 + years in Python/Django (classbased APIs, Ninja (Extra), async, Channels). This role has more backend focus than frontend.
• Having Python/Django and strong system design experience is a must.
• Demonstrated experience architecting APIs (REST & GraphQL) and eventdriven services at scale ( >10 k RPS, horizontal autoscaling).
• Deep understanding of application design patterns, SOLID principles, and domain modeling.
• Proven GCP or AWS expertise. We use GCP (Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud SQL/Postgres, Pub/Sub, IAM, VPCs) and solid DevOps chops (CI/CD, IaC, observability).
• Track record of performance & scalability tuning (profiling, caching strategies, DB indexing, async processing, CDN usage).
• Comfortable leading small engineering teams, performing code reviews, and mentoring junior developers.
• Exposure to earlystage or highgrowth startup environmentsyou thrive amid ambiguity and tight timelines.
NicetoHaves
• Experience with Generative AI / LLM integrations, LangChain/LangGraph, vector databases.
• Familiarity with security & compliance in EdTech (FERPA, COPPA) and K12 integrations (OneRoster, Google Classroom).
What You’ll Get
• Impact & Ownership: Shape the core architecture of a missiondriven product.
• Competitive Compensation & Equity: Meaningful ownership in a highgrowth EdTech startup.
• Remote Flexibility: Work where you perform best, with USET core hours for collaboration.
• Fast Career Growth: Step into a leadership role with direct access to the founders and strategic decisions. Be part of a fast growing startup.
Hiring Process
• Intro Call (30 min) Culture & mission alignment.
• Technical DeepDive (60 min) a) Discuss past architecture decisions and scalability challenges. b) System Design Exercise Whiteboard or code a highlevel design relevant to Bridgeit.
• Founder Chat (30 min) Vision, values, and mutual expectations.
• Offer & Onboarding
Bridgeit is an equalopportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all teammates.
