About OneTutor

We are a fast-growing EdTech startup focused on immersive online tutoring powered by AI, enabling real-world impact and meaningful innovation. Join us in building the future of education: we're developing AI-powered tutors currently used by over 21,000 students across TUM, LMU, and 30+ universities. We are a close-knit team that values inclusive mentorship, autonomy, and mutual support.

What you’ll be doing

• As one of our first hires, you’ll be working closely with the founders from day one, playing a crucial role in shaping the future of the product.
• Take ownership of either backend or frontend projects and expand into the complementary area.
• Backend: build APIs, model data, work with NestJS/TypeScript to develop AI-driven features.
• Frontend: craft React components, integrate with backend services, optimize user experience.
• Work with Product and engineering peers to design, ship, test and maintain features.
• Collaborate in code reviews and optional pair programming.
• You will be working closely with Max (CTO) and Nico (CPO), gaining direct mentorship in both tech and product.

What we expect

• You have strong experience in either React/modern frontend tooling or backend development (NestJS/Node, REST/GraphQL). What matters most is your motivation to learn the other side and grow into a full-stack role. You thrive in high-agility environments and want to contribute to a culture of ownership, paired programming, and continuous improvement.
