Dakota Prep is building the future of skilled trades education. We create modern, AI-powered tools that help electricians, plumbers, and other tradespeople learn the trade, pass licensing exams, renew their licenses, earn certifications, and move forward in their careers. So far, we’ve supported more than 20,000 learners across 80+ schools, unions, and training programs in the U.The roleWe’re hiring a product engineer to grow and run our education products.

You’ll work closely with the founder, engineering, sales, and customers. You’re technical enough to build: you’ll ship real features with AI coding tools, read and reason about the codebase, and get your work through code review. You also have good design sense, enough to make clear interface decisions and ship something that looks and feels right without a designer in the loop.

Figure out what learners, schools, unions, and employers need and will pay for. You’ll turn conversations, usage data, and market signals into a clear view of what to offer next. Build the pipeline that takes an offering from idea to paying learners: content sourcing, authoring, QA, packaging, pricing, enrollment, and launch.

Each one should be faster and cheaper to ship than the last, because the system keeps improving. Codes change, exams change, and content goes stale. You’ll own how our catalog stays accurate and healthy across licensing prep,



consumer Dakota Labs, and everything we add, and how we use learner data to improve it over time.

The content and publishing pipeline, from subject-matter expert to live product Authoring and admin tools so the team can build and update offerings without engineering help Pricing, packaging, and enrollment flows Our licensing prep apps and the consumer Dakota Labs experience: growth, retention, pass rates, and keeping content current Analytics and experiments: defining the metrics that matter, instrumenting them, and using the results to decide what to build or retire Customer research with learners, instructors, and employers A talented generalist across product, engineering, and design. You make the product call, build it with AI coding tools, and ship software people use You’ve taken a product from zero to paying customers and can show us your decisions Robust instincts for demand and data. You know what people will pay for, and you instrument what you ship to tell real results from noise Clear writing and respect for people who work with their hands.
