About Masterminding

Masterminding is revolutionizing education through AI-powered personalized learning.

Masterminding is an AI-powered platform transforming how teachers plan lessons and how students learn. While most industries have been revolutionized by technology, teachers remain burdened by time-consuming, manual lesson planning—leaving students stuck with outdated, one-size-fits-all education.

We’re changing that. With Masterminding, teachers generate adaptive, multimodal lesson plans in just minutes, saving hours each week and personalizing learning for every student—even those who haven’t thrived with traditional methods. Our solution is already piloted in schools, including Orion Academy, where teachers are seeing students with autism engage and succeed for the first time.

Key achievements:

  • 🏆 3rd Place – UCSB New Venture Competition (Spring 2025)
  • 🚀 First active school pilot at Orion Academy
  • 🎯 Proven impact: Students with learning disabilities achieving outcomes where other methods failed

Where we’re headed:

We’re scaling from pilots to broader adoption, focusing on delivering rapid, meaningful value for both teachers and students. Our next goal: build the best production version of Masterminding and reach classrooms nationwide.

About the Role + Roadmap

We're seeking a Front-End Developer who thrives in the fast-paced startup environment and can ship exceptional user experiences at lightning speed. This isn't your typical dev role—you'll be working directly with our founding team to skyrocket Masterminding!

  • Re-architecting the teacher dashboard in React/Next.js + TypeScript (12-week milestone).
  • Shipping interactive components for lesson-plan creation, live student feedback, and analytics.
  • Document and advocate for best front-end practices as we grow
  • Working hybrid (2 days/week) in an incubator, and remote the rest.
  • Pairing with our ML team to productionize Gen-AI features.

The rest of what the role looks like is up to you - a big part of our approach is that you get to chart your path as we grow and evolve. There's a lot of green field to conquer, we trust that you'll make a lot of it your own :)

About You

  • CS student (at UCSB) or recent grad with React/Next.js proficiency
  • Expert at AI-assisted development (Cursor/Copilot) - you ship 10x faster
  • Available full-time for summer (July-September 2025)
  • Comfortable with startup pace and ambiguity
  • [Nice-to-have] Figma & UX/UI understanding
  • [Nice-to-have] EdTech interest, teaching experience, or education passion

Benefits of Joining Masterminding

  • 🚀 Extreme ownership: Direct access to the founders, your code will shape the future of education
  • 🤝 Grow your network: Exposure to investors, angels, and potential co-founders
  • 🧑‍💻 Unique career growth: Potential to convert to a founding engineer or co-founder (we’re enthusiastic about this!)
  • 🗽 O-1 visa sponsorship available for exceptional talent
  • + possibility for equity (and/or salary after fundraising)

This role offers a unique blend of meaningful impact, technical innovation, and startup excitement.

You'll be building the future of education while growing your career alongside our company.
