About Nuclear

Nuclear is an intelligent note-taking app built for students and self-learners who crave more from their notes. We combine AI with sleek design to turn raw text into editable, interactive study tools — including fill-in-the-blank exercises, adaptive quizzes, and instant Q&A through "Ask Nuclear."

We're a small, fast-moving team, and we're building tools that make learning personal, engaging, and efficient.


What You’ll Do

  • Develop and maintain front-end and back-end systems for the Nuclear web app.

  • Integrate AI features like Q&A, summarization, and dynamic quiz generation.

  • Collaborate with design to implement clean, responsive UIs that feel delightful and fast.

  • Optimize performance for real-time rendering and editing of large documents.

  • Write clean, testable code with good documentation and modularity.

  • Contribute ideas on feature design, UX flows, and technical strategy.


Tech Stack (You don’t need to know all of these)

  • Frontend: React, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion

  • Backend: Node.js, Express

  • Database: PostgreSQL, Prisma

  • AI Layer: Sonar APIs, LangChain, Pinecone (or similar vector DB)

  • Dev Tools: GitHub, Vercel, Docker, Tailscale

  • Bonus: Experience with browser-based text editing (Slate.js, Lexical, or ProseMirror)


What We’re Looking For

  • Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks (preferably React).

  • Experience building and deploying full-stack web applications.

  • Ability to turn product requirements into fast, maintainable code.

  • Interest in AI/LLMs and how they can reshape learning experiences.

  • A user-first mindset — you care about polish, usability, and performance.

  • Bonus: experience with education tools, Chrome extensions, or real-time apps.


Perks

  • Equity options — be part of the core team shaping Nuclear.

  • Flexible hours — async-first, minimal meetings.

  • Access to OpenAI credits and developer tools.

  • Creative freedom — your ideas are core to our product.
