About JurneeGo

JurneeGo is a family-integrated AI learning system for children.

It is not a generic chatbot. It is not an answer engine.

JurneeGo helps children ask better questions, think more deeply, reflect on what they are learning, and grow over time. Parents and teachers participate as visible co-curators of the learning journey.

The product connects:

Child inquiry

AI-guided thinking

Parent visibility

Teacher guidance

Learning objectives

Safety and compliance

Longitudinal learning growth

We are early, moving fast, and building with a high care bar because every feature touches children.

The Role

We are looking for a Product Engineer who can take a fuzzy product idea and turn it into something real.

You should be able to:

Understand the user problem

Make reasonable product decisions

Design a simple flow

Build the frontend

Write the backend

Connect the data

Deploy the feature

Watch how users respond

Improve it quickly

This is not a narrow frontend role. It is not a backend-only role. It is not a wait for tickets role.

It is a builder role.

You will own features end to end.

How We Work

We use AI coding tools as part of the engineering workflow.

Examples include:

Cursor

Claude Code

GitHub Copilot

ChatGPT

Other tools that improve speed and quality

But AI does not replace engineering judgment.

We are not hiring someone to paste AI-generated code into production. We are hiring someone who can use AI to move faster while still understanding the architecture, reviewing every line, and owning the result.

You should be able to explain what your code does, why it is structured that way, and what tradeoffs you made.

What You Will Do

Ship full-stack product features.

Build user-facing screens in React or Svelte/SvelteKit.

Write backend services and APIs in Go.

Model data in Postgres or SQLite.

Make product tradeoffs without waiting for a PM to decide every detail.

Use AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining code quality.

Work with design and QA to ship features at the right quality bar.

Build with child safety, privacy, and role boundaries in mind.

Help define engineering patterns for the company.

Talk to users when useful.

Watch how children, parents, or teachers use what you built.

Improve based on evidence.

What Product Ownership Means Here

JurneeGo has multiple users and role boundaries.

A child may ask a question.

A parent may see the session.

A teacher may see only the school-relevant view.

A curator annotation may guide thinking but must not secretly rewrite AI output.

A safety layer may block a message before it reaches the AI.

A learning objective may guide a session without destroying curiosity.

That means product engineering here requires more than CRUD screens.

You need to understand:

User roles

Permissions

Safety defaults

Edge cases

Async interactions

Real-time visibility

Product clarity

Trust

The best engineer for this role can think like a builder, a product owner, and a systems thinker.

Must-Haves

Comfort owning both frontend and backend in production.

Strong frontend ability in React or Svelte/SvelteKit.

TypeScript fluency.

Good instincts for component structure, state, loading states, error states, and basic accessibility.

Solid backend judgment.

Go experience, or strong experience in another typed backend language and willingness to ramp quickly.

Sensible API design.

Thoughtful data modeling.

Demonstrated AI-assisted development workflow.

Ability to talk concretely about how you use AI tools, what you accept, what you reject, and how you prevent codebase drift.

Product taste.

Pragmatism.

Strong written communication.

Self-direction in a remote environment.

Nice-to-Haves

Early-stage startup experience.

Solo builder experience.

Experience building products for children, families, schools, or high-trust consumer use cases.

Familiarity with LLM APIs.

Prompt design experience.

Basic safety or moderation pattern experience.

Light DevOps comfort with Docker, CI, cloud deploys, or observability.

Design sensibility.

Experience with real-time systems, chat systems, dashboards, or role-based permissions.

What We Are Not Screening For

A specific number of years of experience.

FAANG background.

Deep ML or model-training experience.

Algorithm puzzle performance.

A perfect CV.

We care much more about what you have shipped, how you think, and whether you can own a product surface end to end.

Why This Role Is Worth Your TimeFull ownership

You will not be the third engineer maintaining someone else's small component. You will build real product surfaces.

Meaningful product problem

JurneeGo is building a system where child, parent, teacher, and AI participate in a shared learning process. That creates hard, meaningful product and engineering problems.

AI-native workflow

AI tools are part of the workflow from the beginning. The expectation is faster execution with stronger judgment, not lower standards.

Founding-team trajectory

Early hires shape the patterns, culture, engineering bar, and product velocity of the company.

Remote and async-friendly

We hire people who can manage their own time, communicate clearly, and move without constant supervision.

Example Problems You Might Work On

A child inquiry interface with nested follow-up questions.

A parent view that mirrors a child's session without overwhelming the parent.

A teacher view that shows class-relevant learning activity.

A curator annotation system that keeps parent/teacher guidance separate from canonical AI output.

A role-based permission flow for child, parent, teacher, and admin users.

A simple learning objective flow for guided sessions.

A product analytics event structure for curiosity, follow-up depth, and reflection.

A safe file upload or reading assignment flow.

A notification flow when a child's question invites parent or teacher support.

Hiring Process1. Intro call — 30 minutes

We get to know each other and you ask us anything.

2. Take-home assignment — 8 to 12 hours

A small full-stack product exercise built with AI tooling.

You will have one week to submit it.

We care about:

Product judgment

Working software

Code clarity

Tradeoffs

AI workflow

Frontend usability

Backend structure

3. Live review session — 60 to 90 minutes

We run your app together, walk through your code, and discuss your decisions.

Be ready to explain:

Why you structured the app this way

What you asked AI to do

What AI got wrong

What you changed manually

What tradeoffs you made

What you would improve with more time

4. Founder conversation

We discuss the company, the next 12 months, and whether the fit is mutual.

5. Offer

If it is a fit, we move quickly.
