You won’t have to spend a day fiddling with your local env. Everything just works immediately.

There are commercial alternatives like GH codespaces but not as good as Cider-V.

Oboe's goal is simple: teach one billion people one trillion things. We'll do that by building the world's first completely generalized AI-powered learning platform. Today, so much of our focus is spent on making machines smarter. We believe it's time for machines to make humans smarter.

We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to work across Oboe's stack, from our backend pipelines that leverage AI to generate world-class content, all the way to the interfaces that our users engage with on the web.

We're a team of generalists, so this job will have you learning every part of the systems and features that bring Oboe to life. This is a highly hands-on role where you'll have tremendous impact, ship real features to real users, iterate quickly, and learn a ton.

Tech Stack: Node, TypeScript, React, AWS, MySQL, LLMs.

In theory you could beat the death spiral by buying good programmers instead of hiring them. You can get programmers who would never have come to you as employees by buying their startups...
