Acely is the leading AI tutor for the digital SAT and ACT, helping students get into their dream college. Our mission is to democratize opportunity for high school families through AI-native tools that empower students to learn smarter and gain confidence.
Backed by Forerunner Ventures, we've grown to $10M ARR with a lean, 10-person team, proof that small, mission-driven teams can deliver outsized impact. Our product has traction, our users are engaged, and we're now at an inflection point: ready to scale with speed, craft, and AI-native excellence.
We're looking for a Sr. Data Engineer who thrives in building the infrastructure that powers data-driven decision making. You'll be the architect of our data ecosystem, building pipelines that transform raw signals into actionable insights that shape how we serve millions of students.
As a member of our data team, you'll work directly with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to build the foundation for Acely's next stage of growth. This is the perfect role for someone who wants to own the entire data stack, move fast with modern tools, and directly impact how an AI-native education platform evolves.
This is a rare opportunity to join a company with proven product-market fit and a mission that matters. You'll build the data foundation that helps millions of students achieve their college dreams.
You won't just be maintaining pipelines - you'll be defining how an AI-native education company uses data to personalize learning, measure impact, and scale intelligently. Your work will directly influence product decisions, growth strategies, and ultimately, student outcomes.
In our small, mission-driven team, your impact will be immediate and visible. You'll have the autonomy to choose the right tools, the ownership to build systems that last, and the satisfaction of knowing your work helps democratize access to quality education.
Not required, but a strong plus:

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
