Additional Information

At Robots & Pencils, we build meaningful, scalable digital products that solve real business problems. We're looking for a Fullstack Engineer (Level 3) to support the development and delivery of complex, integration-heavy platforms. This role is ideal for a solid engineer who enjoys hands-on development, can deliver features with some guidance, and is growing into owning larger parts of the system. In this role, you will work as part of a cross-functional team, contributing across the stack while helping build reliable systems and solve integration challenges, including AI-native platforms such as agentic learning systems designed to enable human-centered learning in the Age of AI. This is not a greenfield project. You'll be joining a mature, production environment with real users, where reliability, performance, and scalability are critical. You'll collaborate with senior engineers to enhance existing systems and deliver high-quality features. By joining us, you leverage our Advanced AWS Partnership and the highly exclusive AWS Patterns Partnership, a distinction held by only 11 companies worldwide out of 190,000.
