About TeenCare

TeenCare is building the Parenting AI for modern families — combining 1:1 mentoring for teens with AI-powered insights for parents.

We work with thousands of families weekly, turning real conversations into structured intelligence that helps parents make better decisions.

We’re a fast-growing company in Southeast Asia, backed by global investors and trusted by parents across the region. Our products are used by families every week, and we’re building toward a platform that can scale globally. We’re looking for people who want to work on hard problems, take real ownership, and be held to a high bar.

 

The Role

You will lead engineering at TeenCare — owning system architecture, execution speed, and team performance.

We’ve already built and shipped. The challenge now is to scale the system without breaking speed — across product expansion, international growth, and AI complexity.

What You’ll Do

1. Own System Architecture

  • Design and evolve backend + frontend systems for scale
  • Ensure reliability, performance, and data integrity
  • Build foundations for AI-driven products (LLM, agents, data pipelines)

2. Drive Execution Speed

  • Set engineering standards and development processes
  • Reduce cycle time from idea → production
  • Partner closely with product and ops to ship fast

3. Build and Lead the Team

  • Hire, manage, and level up engineers
  • Set a high performance bar and clear expectations
  • Create a culture of ownership and accountability

4. Ship AI-Native Products

  • Integrate LLMs and data pipelines into core product
  • Turn raw behavioral data into usable features
  • Build systems that improve over time

5. Ensure Product Quality

  • Own system stability, uptime, and bug resolution
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and QA processes
  • Prevent technical debt from slowing down growth

 

What We’re Looking For

Must-have:

  • 5+ years in software engineering, with leadership experience
  • Strong hands-on ability (backend or fullstack) — you still ship production code
  • Experience building and scaling real-world systems
  • Proven ability to hire and manage engineers
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Strong plus:

  • Experience with AI/LLM or data-heavy products
  • Startup experience (0→1 or 1→10 scaling)
  • Experience with real-time or high-frequency systems

 

How We Work

  • High ownership — you are expected to solve problems end-to-end
  • Fast execution — we prioritize shipping over perfection
  • Direct communication — low politics, high accountability

 

Why Join Us

  • Own engineering at a critical inflection point
  • Build AI-powered products used weekly by thousands of families
  • High impact, real ownership, fast growth environment
  • Competitive compensation with meaningful equity
