<p><strong>About Us:</strong></p> <p>Amira Learning accelerates literacy outcomes by delivering the latest reading and neuroscience with AI. As the leader in third-generation edtech, Amira listens to students read out loud, assesses mastery, helps teachers supplement instruction and delivers 1:1 tutoring. Validated by independent university and SEA efficacy research, Amira is the only AI literacy platform proven to achieve gains surpassing 1:1 human tutoring, consistently delivering effect sizes over 0.4.</p> <p>Rooted in over thirty years of research, Amira is the first, foremost, and only proven Intelligent Assistant for teachers and AI Reading Tutor for students. The platform serves as a school district’s Intelligent Growth Engine, driving instructional coherence by unifying assessment, instruction, and tutoring around the chosen curriculum.</p> <p>Unlike any other edtech tool, Amira continuously identifies each student’s skill gaps and collaborates with teachers to build lesson plans aligned with district curricula, pulling directly from the district’s high-quality instructional materials. Teachers can finally differentiate instruction with evidence and ease, and students get the 1:1 practice they specifically need, whether they are excelling or working below grade level. </p> <p>Trusted by more than 2,000 districts and working in partnership with twelve state education agencies, Amira is helping 3.5 million students worldwide become motivated and masterful readers. </p> <p><strong>Job Duties:</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li> <p>Design, implement, and own complex backend systems end-to-end, including system architecture, integration points, performance optimization, and scalability across multiple services and data platforms. </p> </li> <li> <p>Design and operate large-scale data pipeline architectures and backend services using AWS technologies, including Lambda, DynamoDB, Redshift, Athena, Glue, and S3. </p> </li> <li> <p>Build and maintain backend APIs and distributed data workflows within a cloud-native architecture, with emphasis on modern development practices, including AI-assisted practices. </p> </li> <li> <p>Work across Node.js, Python, .NET, and SQL platforms to implement services and data pipelines that deliver actionable insights and support data-driven features. </p> </li> <li> <p>Translate product and business requirements into technical system designs, evaluate tradeoffs, communicate risks and constraints, and guide implementation across cross-functional teams. </p> </li> <li> <p>Implement AI-assisted development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and system-level productivity improvements.</p> </li> <li> <p>Design and implement reusable AI-assisted workflows, tools, and shared prompt libraries to improve development efficiency and code quality, and integrate them into CI/CD and code review processes. </p> </li> <li> <p>Oversee technical output, delivery flow, and overall system-level effectiveness. </p> </li> <li> <p>Lead technical design and development, participate in design and code reviews, propose architecture improvements, and support ongoing system evolution. </p> </li> <li> <p>Collaborate with product managers, engineers, data scientists, and customer-facing teams to define scope, prioritize work, and deliver high-impact technical solutions. </p> </li> <li> <p>Mentor teammates in AI-assisted development practices and refine team processes to reduce bottlenecks. </p> </li> <li> <p>This is a fully remote position; telecommuting is permitted, and the employee may work from anywhere in the United States.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Job Requirements:</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li> <p>Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science or a closely related field; and </p> </li> <li> <p>Three (3) years of experience in a related occupation designing, developing, testing, and implementing software and machine learning solutions in production environments. </p> </li> <li> <p>This is a fully remote position; telecommuting is permitted, and the employee may work from anywhere in the United States.
