Founding Engineer/ CTO

🏴‍☠️ It’s more fun to be a pirate than join the navy 🏴‍☠️

If this quote resonates you have one in a life time opportunity to join a wild startup, leave the navy and build the university that kills universities 🙃

🧠 TL;DR

We're building University 2.0 — AI-native, open, free for all, fast as hell, and 100x better than Harvard.

We’ve got the vision, founding, and a clear playbook.

Now we need a founding engineer / CTO to build it with us.

🚨 What’s broken?

Universities are dinosaurs:

Slow

Expensive

Out of touch

Useless for most real-world jobs

Clueless about AI, remote work, or how people actually learn

The world’s smartest people know this — and they’re looking for something new. We’re building that.

🔥 What we’re building

A global university that:

Is free and open — content lives on GitHub

Has zero gatekeeping — anyone can teach, anyone can learn

Is built for AI — and helps people reskill fast

Looks and feels like a dev tool, not a school

🛠️ Your role

You’ll be the founding engineer with potential to become CTO:

Own the full stack: React, Next.js (App Router), Tailwind, Stripe, ShadcnUI, Postgres, Vercel, OpenAI APIs

Ship extremely fast — we’re talking MVP in hours, not weeks

Architect the platform — GitHub-based course system, AI tutoring, college pages, etc.

Decide tech direction, infra, hiring, and code standards

Co-create the future of education with a founder who gives a damn

🚀 Who you are

You are young, smart, hardworking and irrationally ambitious

You’re a full-stack hacker who builds for fun

You can go from idea → deployed prototype in 24h

You know React and Next.js like the back of your hand

You’ve touched Vercel, OpenAI, GitHub APIs, Tailwind

You care about learning, tools, and freedom

You want to have a real positive impact on this world

You are ready to work at an early stage startup pace and sacrifice work-life balance for few months to build something great

You are good with design and care about aesthetics

🎁 What you get

Equity (3% - 30%)

Salary ($3-9k a month)

Adventure of a lifetime

A real chance to build a generational wealth

As close as you can get to YCombinator experience while being in Poland and potentially joining YC in the next batch

✅ Hiring Process

step 1 - interview with our AI recruiter, Woz — 1 hour

step 2 - zoom call with the founder — 30 minutes

📍Location

For now Warsaw (we’re here), but we want to move to San Francisco this year and potentially take you with us :)
