Ottodot is building an AI-native learning platform for primary school students in Singapore to power our weekly game-based live classes. We are looking for a Tech Lead to own the architecture and engineering direction of the platform.
The Mission
You will help us move from a working but messy LMS into a reliable, AI-native education platform. You will work directly with the founder and current LMS owner to decide:
- What architecture should power the platform.
- What is the engineering direction of the platform
- How to enable a small AI-native engineering team to ship quickly without creating chaos.
What You’ll Work On
You will work on systems such as:
- Homework submission and reliable AI-assisted grading.
- Student progress, learning profiles, and recommendations.
- Game telemetry and internal game production tooling.
What We Expect Technically
You should be strong in:
- Backend/API design.
- Product architecture for fast-moving teams.
- Observability, logging, and production debugging.
- Testing critical flows.
- AI-assisted engineering workflows.
You Are Probably Not a Fit If
- You want a large engineering team around you before you can be effective.
- You only want to work on greenfield systems.
- You prefer trendy infrastructure over simple, reliable systems.
- You treat AI features as “just call an LLM”.
- You dislike reviewing junior or AI-generated code.
- You want to manage from a distance instead of being hands-on.
- You are uncomfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing startup priorities.
