Full-Stack Engineer (Contract)

Lessunz is an innovative audio-first test prep platform designed for high-intensity learners such as nurses, pre-med students, law students, and others who are balancing work, family, and study. We are building a lean MVP with integrated voice interaction to validate core features rapidly while maintaining code quality and scalability. This role is a contract position for building the backend of our platform, starting in early to mid-July 2025 and ending by mid-September to early October 2025.

Key Responsibilities:

• Transfer the existing front-end website from GoDaddy to a developer-friendly platform (e.g., Vercel or Git-based environment) ensuring visual fidelity and readiness for backend integration.
• Build the backend of the MVP using scalable, modern technologies (Node.js, Python, or other as discussed).
• Integrate the backend with the migrated frontend.
• Collaborate closely with the founder for real-time feedback and fast iteration.
• Optimize for fast load times and maintain clean, maintainable code.
• Implement voice-adaptive learning features that power the platform’s core user experience, ensuring their stability and scalability.

Required Skills and Ideal Candidate:

• Strong experience in backend development (Node.js, Python, or preferred stack).
• Working knowledge of frontend integration (React or comparable).
• Experience with voice-responsive platforms, speech processing, or machine learning for audio integration.
• Ability to work quickly and efficiently with clear direction, valuing minimal meetings and asynchronous communication.
• Self-motivation and the ability to thrive in a focused, mission-driven environment.

Compensation: This is a paid contract role with a range of $70,000 – $100,000, milestone-based for the MVP scope. Equity is not offered.

About the Role: You will be instrumental in building the backend that powers our innovative audio-first test prep platform. This role requires a proactive, solutions-oriented engineer who can deliver a high-quality MVP within a tight timeline. If you have a proven track record of building and launching real tools or platforms and are passionate about education technology, this role is for you.

Lessunz is committed to building a platform that makes studying feel more intuitive, focused, and sustainable for the millions of adults balancing school, family, and work.
