About Edfinity
Edfinity is the category leader in courseware and assessment technology for higher-ed STEM. We're NSF-supported, bootstrapped, and built by a close-knit remote team of senior engineers. We're growing fast and leading the field in AI-powered courseware that moves the needle on educator productivity and student outcomes. Your work will reach hundreds of institutions, and you will help decide how it gets built.
How we work
- We're fully remote, with team members distributed across the US, and with that comes personal flexibility and accountability.
- AI agents produce most of our code. We move fast, but we temper velocity with quality and stability above all else.
- Engineers frame the problems, direct the work, and are accountable for everything that ships. If you already work this way and have opinions about it, you'll feel at home.
- Everyone has opportunities to work across different areas of the platform, and team members are expected to develop deep technical expertise over time. This is particularly important as we step away from hands-on coding.
- We're a small team of collaborative senior engineers. Your opinion matters.
- The pace of change is real. More than ever, we're continually evolving our tooling and workflows as LLMs become more capable.
