At Code Mantra, we're building an AI-powered education platform serving students, parents, teachers, and administrators worldwide. Our mission is to help millions of students become the next generation of innovators, creators, and problem-solvers. We are building products from the ground up and looking for ambitious engineers who want to create meaningful impact through technology.

The Opportunity

• We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer with strong backend expertise who can independently design, build, deploy, and maintain production-grade systems.
• This is not a role for someone who simply completes assigned tasks.
• We are looking for someone who takes ownership, solves complex technical problems, makes sound engineering decisions, and helps shape the future architecture of our platform.
• You will work directly with founders, product, design, and engineering teams to build scalable systems supporting students, parents, teachers, and administrators.
