Help a generation learn to build, not just consume.
We're a small, senior team building the technical academy we wish existed for our own kids. If that mission pulls at you, read on.
See open roles →The work is hard. The reason is simple.
Every product decision answers one question: does this help a young person become a capable builder? It keeps the work honest, and it's why people here turn down bigger offers to stay.
Real outcomes
You'll see students ship projects because of work you shipped.
Ethics built in
AI for kids done carefully - safety and pedagogy aren't afterthoughts.
Small surface
Few people, high trust, real ownership of what you build.
Steep growth
Senior peers, fast feedback, and room to lead.
Five principles, no fluff.
These aren't poster values. They're how decisions actually get made here.
Students are capable
We design up to kids, never down. No condescension in the product or the team.
Ship to learn
Small, real releases beat big plans. We'd rather learn from week three than guess for a quarter.
Earn trust weekly
Parents pay every month. We treat that as a standing promise, not a closed sale.
Default to clarity
Plain words, honest dashboards, no dark patterns. If it needs spin, we rebuild it.
Mentor, don't solve
How Nova treats students is how we treat each other: hints before answers, growth over ego.
Own the outcome
Titles are loose, accountability is real. You own problems end to end.
Built for people doing their best work.
Remote-first
Work from anywhere in US time zones, with real async habits.
Full health coverage
Medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents.
Meaningful equity
Early-team ownership in a company with a clear mission.
Flexible time off
A real minimum, not an unlimited-that-means-none policy.
Learning budget
Annual stipend for courses, books, and conferences.
Family-friendly
Built by parents - school pickups and bedtimes are sacred.

Don't see your role? We always read thoughtful notes from people who believe in the mission.

Four steps, about two weeks end to end. You'll always know where you stand.
Intro chat
30 minutes on you, the mission, and what you want next.
Craft conversation
A real discussion about real work - no whiteboard gotchas.
Paid project
A short, scoped task that mirrors the actual job.
Meet the team
Conversations with future peers, then a fast decision.
Come build the academy we wish we'd had.
Senior team, real ownership, and a mission you can explain to a 10-year-old.
