Job Overview

Founded in 1984, QC Career School is a pioneer in global online education with a custom, self-hosted tech ecosystem. Having successfully built our own LMS, CRM, and financial infrastructure, we are launching our next major initiative: an advanced, AI-powered marketing platform.

As a Software Developer, you will be part of a small, fast-moving team. You will assist with the development of our promotional website, internal employee website, external client website, API, and report builder.

Roles and Responsibilities
Architect end-to-end telemetry and reporting features in MySQL—from crafting performant queries and resilient schemas to rendering agile dashboards, custom widgets, and exportable PDFs.
Build the interface layer for generative AI features, translating streaming responses, tool executions, and multi-state workflows into crisp, deterministic UI states (loading, partial results, fallback errors).
Leverage modern AI accelerators (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) to speed up scaffolding and refactoring while applying rigorous code-review standards so all code meets production standards.
Turn raw Figma comps and loose specs into accessible (WCAG-compliant), performant components.




Instrument proactive error tracking and product analytics to catch edge cases before users do, using usage data to back UX polish and performance fixes.

Your Qualifications
Extensive experience building production web applications using React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and modern CSS/HTML.
Strong expertise in relational database design, query optimization, and structuring efficient data layers for complex frontend consumption.
Proven capability integrating LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini) with robust patterns for tool calling, streaming outputs, and error handling.
Expertise in REST APIs, webhooks, auth mechanisms (JWT, OAuth2), and distributed background job queues (BullMQ/SQS/Vercel Queues).
Proficiency with AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot) to improve productivity while maintaining rigorous standards.
Robust communications and cross-team collaboration.
