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
