Why Viva
The question of what students actually understand — as distinct from what they can submit — is one of the defining challenges of education in the AI era. Every institution on earth is grappling with it right now. We have a strong, defensible answer and schools are adopting it.
We are early enough that what you build will matter directly. Small enough that you will work with everyone on the team. Funded well enough to move without compromise.
We hire people who care about the problem, not just the technology.
We expect everyone to think deeply and disagree openly.
We move fast because the problem is urgent — but we do not cut corners on integrity.
We are building for schools, which means building for trust.
What We Offer
Work from anywhere. We hire across time zones and care about output, not office presence.
Early team, meaningful ownership. You are building something that matters — you should own a piece of it.
We have no core hours. If you do your best work at midnight, great.
Open Roles
You will own entire product surfaces — from database schema to polished UI. We move fast, ship frequently, and care deeply about correctness. Experience with TypeScript, Next.js, and PostgreSQL preferred.
Viva's core is the intelligence layer — question generation, transcript analysis, scoring. You will design and iterate on the prompts, models, and pipelines that make Viva's assessments trustworthy. Deep experience with LLM APIs and evaluation required.
You know how schools make decisions, what teachers trust, and how edtech gets adopted. You will build and own our institutional pipeline from initial contact to signed contract to successful rollout.
You will design and run our research program — validating our scoring methodologies, studying the effects of oral assessment on student behavior, and publishing findings that help the field. PhD in education, psychology, or related field preferred.
Don't see the right role?
We hire for talent and conviction. If you believe in what we are building and think you can contribute in a way we haven't thought of, tell us.
