Senior Full Stack Engineer
San Diego, CA, United States
About Us
We’re on a mission to unlock economic opportunity for adult ESL learners in the U.S.
In the U.S., 60% of adult immigrants without a postsecondary degree are English language learners. The recent influx of immigrants, refugees, and internationally trained professionals entering the country has resulted in the demand for English language classes far exceeding the supply of available classroom seats.
Pace AI is our answer to this call. We are building the only AI made just for ESL learners, to help schools and teachers serve more students more effectively.
We’re a small team of certified English language teachers and AI research scientists/engineers. You’ll tackle problems that are not only intellectually challenging—working with advances in AI/LLMs and building products from 0 to 1—but also make a significant impact on ESL teachers and students. We’re lucky to be backed by leading investors in AI and ed-tech—Allen Institute for AI, GSV, Antigravity, E14, Transcend Network Fund, among other strategic angels and advisors.
