EdTech Platform Technical Lead

I’m building a multi-level learning website for students aged 8–20 and I need a hands-on technical lead who can stay online eight hours a day until our first release ships. The stack is fixed: Next.js on the front-end, a Python service layer (Django / FastAPI—your call) on top of MongoDB.

Your first responsibility is to design a workable sprint, break the roadmap into bite-sized tasks, and delegate the simpler items to the junior developers who sit with me onsite. You’ll run daily stand-ups, collect progress updates, jump on screens to unblock them, and make sure the code they push meets our standards before it hits the repo.

Core features in scope
• Interactive quizzes and tests that adapt to each lesson
• Teacher-assigned level progression so educators control what a learner sees next
• Role-based access for Students, Teachers, Admins and an additional Parent view we’d like you to spec out

Tooling & workflow
GitHub, Agile boards, CI-based linting/tests and whatever lightweight documentation you prefer; I’m open as long as everyone can follow it.

Done means
1. A signed-off sprint plan with estimates
2. A functional slice covering user registration, role management and the first quiz flow
3. Clean, reviewed code in the main branch and a hand-over note my juniors can keep extending

If you thrive in real-time collaboration and can coach while you code, let’s talk.
