Who We Are
We founded Pace AI to help 2.3 billion people across the world unlock economic opportunities through English language acquisition and workforce training.
We’re building Pace AI to accelerate multilingual and lower-literacy working adult learners onto career pathways, postsecondary education, and jobs that sustain their families. While “mainstream AI” tools focus on K-12 standards or assume college-level facility with English, our adult learners are some of the most resilient and talented, yet chronically underserved and overlooked learners anywhere. They are parents, caregivers, multilingual community members, aspiring GED and college graduates, internationally trained professionals, and everyone in between who doesn’t fit the mold of a “traditional learner.”
With AI that truly meets multilingual and lower-literacy adult learners where they are — at their English level and in 250+ languages (including lower-resource languages like Haitian Creole that aren’t well-supported by mainstream models) — we help learners build confidence and feel seen, sometimes for the very first time in their educational journeys.
We’re a team of product leaders, TEFL-certified English teachers, and AI/ML research scientists and engineers — with experience from top research labs across the country like Microsoft Research, Stanford, Cornell, MIT, and the Paul Allen Institute for AI Research.
You’ll tackle problems that are not only intellectually challenging—working with advances in AI/LLMs and building products from 0 to 1—but also make a significant impact on advancing ESL and lower-literacy learners everywhere. We’re lucky to be backed by leading investors in AI and ed-tech—E14, GSV, Antigravity, Allen Institute for AI Research, Transcend Network Fund, among other strategic angels like the co-founder of Chegg.
🏗️ What You’ll Work On
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll be a foundational member of our engineering team, working closely with leadership to architect and scale high-impact systems across our entire product stack. You’ll build backend infrastructure that powers AI-first experiences for learners around the world.
This is a highly autonomous role. We’re looking for engineers who can take ownership of complex projects end-to-end—from design to deployment—without needing hand-holding.
What You’ll Do
We use the following technologies, but prioritize strong problem-solving skills, product intuition, and alignment with our values over specific experience with any one tool:
