# Engineer — Super Builders (Alpha School Ecosystem) Super Builders is rapidly building the next generation of **education technology**. We operate as a **highly agentic venture studio** where engineers are empowered to design, build, and launch new products that improve how students learn. Our work plugs directly into the **TimeBack ecosystem** we created — a system that gives students back time by combining technology, focused learning, and adaptive curriculum. It compresses a 6 hour school day into 2 hours, with better outcomes. ## The Role As a **Super Builder engineer**, you will have unusually high autonomy to: - Design and build new education products - Experiment with novel learning systems and interfaces - Launch tools directly to the **Alpha School network** - Expand successful products to **schools and students beyond Alpha** Rather than working on a single product, you will operate more like a **founder within a venture studio**, rapidly shipping and iterating on ideas that improve learning outcomes. ## What You'll Work On Projects inside the TimeBack ecosystem may include: - Focus and engagement detection systems - Adaptive learning software - AI tutoring tools - Educational analytics and progress tracking - Tools that help students learn faster and reclaim time Engineers are encouraged to **identify problems, prototype solutions, and ship quickly**. ## How We Work Super Builders is designed to maximize **agency and speed**: - Engineers own problems end-to-end - Small teams move quickly - Ideas are prototyped and tested directly with real students - Successful projects scale across the Alpha School network ## Who We're Looking For People who: - Like building things from scratch - Have strong engineering ability - Move quickly and iterate rapidly - Want to rethink how education works If you want to **build products that directly change how students learn**, this is the place to do it. --- Super Builders is building the future of education — one product at a time.
