**📯 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

**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.
