Full Stack Engineer

Company: Edlink is a small, high-performing team building the data infrastructure that powers edtech. Our API helps 60M+ students and educators access the software they need to teach and learn. We solve hard problems — messy school data, ancient SIS platforms, massive scale — and we do it without red tape, meetings about meetings, or fluff. We're 23 people, all in on building fast, owning our work, and helping each other grow. We believe in high trust, deep work, strong opinions (held loosely), and building great tools that actually help people. No micromanagement. No bureaucracy. Just a team of sharp, kind engineers shipping great code and pushing each other to improve.

Role: As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll work across our entire stack (TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Kubernetes, Vue 2/3), building powerful APIs and clean UIs that help integrate thousands of school systems. You will tackle challenges on both the front-end and back-end, from optimizing database queries to crafting intuitive user interfaces. You’ll also work directly with developer clients who use our API — think Stripe for edtech.

Responsibilities:
*   Develop and maintain both server-side logic (Node.js, TypeScript) and client-side features (Vue 2/3, TypeScript).
*   Design and implement robust APIs and manage database interactions (Postgres).
*   Collaborate across the team to define, design, and ship new features.
*   Work with Kubernetes for deployment and infrastructure management.
*   Address challenges related to data integration, API design, UI/UX, and system scalability.
*   Engage with developer clients to gather feedback and improve the platform.

Technical Skills:
*   Proficiency across the stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Vue.js (2/3).
*   Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs.
*   Strong understanding of both front-end and back-end development principles.
*   Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
*   Experience with database design and optimization.
*   Comfortable working in a Linux/Unix environment.

Ideal Candidate: You are a versatile, sharp, and kind engineer comfortable working across the full technology stack. You enjoy tackling diverse challenges, from backend scalability to frontend usability. You thrive in a high-trust, fast-paced environment, enjoy owning your work, and are eager to learn and help others grow. You have strong opinions, held loosely, and believe in building tools that genuinely help people.

Perks: Equity from day one, unlimited PTO, free downtown parking, paid parental leave, relocation support, and weekly team lunches.

Location: We’re in-person in Austin, TX because we believe startups build better products — and have more fun — when they work side by side.
