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)

• Backend: Node.js, Express

• Database: PostgreSQL, Prisma

• 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.
