YouLearn is an AI tutor personalized to each student. Backed by Y Combinator and early believers like Paul Graham, we've grown YouLearn to over 1.5M users, turning learning materials into concise notes, an AI tutor you can talk to, and personalized tests.

But that's just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is to build a personalized AI tutor for everyone. Think of it as your personal "Aristotle," a lifelong tutor that grows with you.

We started YouLearn as friends building projects in our dorms. Now we’re working toward the future of education one student, one question, one step at a time.

If you're excited to shape how the world learns, join us.

We're looking for a Founding Engineer who loves writing high-quality, fast code and who cares deeply about users. You’ll work across the stack, from small product improvements to foundational systems, driving speed, reliability, and scalability, and turning user feedback into features from idea to deployment.

What You'll Do

• Tackle everything from small product improvements to foundational systems.
• Improve scalability, reliability, and speed end-to-end
• Experiment with and iterate on core learning flows.
• Build across the stack: backend (FastAPI + Python) and frontend (Next.js, React Native)
• Iterate quickly on user feedback to build what they actually need
• Take ownership from idea to deployment

You're likely a good fit if...

• You want your work to directly shape the future of learning
• You’re self-driven, adaptable, and ready to go deep in the code
• You like debugging and solving tough technical problems
• You’re comfortable wearing multiple hats and switching contexts
• You care about users and build based on real feedback
