Software Engineer (f/m/x) - Type Script (NestJS or React)

About One Tutor

One Tutor is an AI-powered tutoring platform spun off from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). We give every student a personalized AI tutor grounded in their actual course materials — no hallucinations, full source citations, GDPR-compliant. We also serve B2B organizations as an AI-powered learning platform for employees.

We're past the "will this work?" stage. Our impact is real:

• 30,000+ Active users
• 50+ B2B / B2G Customers
• 86% Users find it helpful

We're a small, close-knit team — you'll know everyone by name, work directly with the founders, and see your code shape a product that measurably improves learning outcomes.

Tasks

You’ll be one of our first engineering hires, working closely with Max (CTO), Nico (CPO) and the founding team. The expectation is that you own either backend or frontend work first, then gradually expand into the other — we’ll support that growth actively.

• Backend: design and build APIs, model data, develop AI-driven features using NestJS/Type Script.
• Frontend: build React components, integrate with backend services, improve the learner and instructor experience end-to-end.
• Collaborate with product and engineering peers to design, ship, test, and maintain features.
• Participate in code reviews and occasional pair programming sessions.

Requirements

You have solid experience in at least one of the following — you don't need both:

• NestJS + Type Script
• React + Type Script

Beyond the technical foundation, what matters most is your curiosity, your communication, and your desire to grow. We value people who ask good questions, help others do their best work, and care about the impact of what they build.

We don't require a degree or a specific number of years of experience. We care about what you can do and how you approach problems.
