Founding Engineer

MathDash is revolutionizing how students engage with mathematics through their innovative online live math-competition platform. As a Founding Engineer at MathDash, you'll be joining a team led by former USA Math Olympians who deeply understand the competitive math learning space.

The role involves being a key technical leader responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the MathDash platform. You'll work directly with the founding team in San Francisco to create an engaging and scalable platform that makes math learning more thrilling and exciting through live competitions, leaderboards, and ELO rating systems.

Your responsibilities will include full-stack development, from implementing new features to ensuring platform security and scalability. You'll be collaborating closely with the product team to create seamless user experiences that keep students engaged and motivated. The position offers significant technical ownership and the opportunity to shape the platform's architecture from the ground up.

The ideal candidate should be passionate about education technology and comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment. You'll be joining a company that aims to transform math education by making it more engaging and competitive, similar to how chess.com has revolutionized online chess learning.

The role offers competitive compensation ($100K - $200K) with significant equity (1.00% - 2.00%), reflecting the founding nature of the position. The interview process is thorough but streamlined, including a phone intro, take-home assessment, technical phone screen, and work trial to ensure mutual fit.

This is an exceptional opportunity for engineers who want to make a meaningful impact in education technology while working with a team that deeply understands both the technical and domain challenges of making math learning more engaging and effective.
