📯 We’re hiring a founding engineer at Goblins — join us in inspiring 1B kids to love to learn. 📯

The Problem We Solve
In a 30-student math class, half of kids are ready to accelerate, while half are still working on their foundational skills. This is a huge pain for teachers: they simply cannot keep track of each student’s abilities, prepare alternate curriculum, and give them live instruction and feedback.

Until now. With Goblins, we’ve created a new kind of math pedagogy that feels like magic to kids. Think of Goblins like a "smart worksheet": it lets students draw math on any device and get instant feedback, and helps teachers figure out where students need the most help, and fix it. (Preview here!)

Our Traction
Goblins launched to a private beta in March with 15 schools and 300 students. 100% of our latest cohort are repeat users, and we are post-revenue in two markets. We’ve also raised from angels so that we can scale up to the 1000’s of teachers on our waitlist.

The Team
Co-founder Sawyer is the former Head of Design at X1 (acq. by Robinhood) and a former math teacher, and Alp is an AI engineer from Amazon and Stripe.

The Role
At Goblins, you’ll take on big, open-ended engineering problems to ensure students and teachers both have a mind-blowing experience next year. Some of these are…
✅ Building a knowledge graph representing mastery of a math subject, and updating it based on student performance
✅ Building a version of the app that watches student work on real paper from a camera
✅ Expanding our “tangent” feature, which acts more of a primary instructor, and uses the LLM to compose visual modules on-demand for the student when they're struggling

If you’re looking to profoundly change the course others’ lives, play a pivotal role early in a company’s life, and get your hands dirty with LLMs, then we should definitely chat.
