Tutorbase is a SaaS platform for tutoring centers and language schools. We help schools manage lessons, schedules, billing, and payroll — all in one place. Think of it as the modern alternative to outdated tools like Teachworks or TutorCruncher.
I’m Sandro, the founder. I’ve built and scaled language schools before (one was acquired earlier this year) and now I’m fully focused on Tutorbase. The idea is validated — schools are excited about what we’re building and we get registrations through our website every few days.
We’re still small, which means you’ll have real ownership from day one. You won’t just be “writing tickets.” You’ll be shaping the architecture, making key technical decisions, and seeing your work used by real customers quickly.
Why join?
- Ownership: You’ll own the codebase and help define the product.
- Impact: Your work ships directly to real schools around the world.
- Startup vibe: Fast-moving, pragmatic, no politics.
- Remote-first: We don’t care where you are, only that you love building.
If you want to join early, move fast, and be part of building a SaaS product from the ground up — Tutorbase is the place.

- Features won’t ship at the speed our early customers expect.
- There’s no one owning the codebase, setting the bar for quality, reliability, and velocity.
- The product risks staying an idea instead of becoming a category-defining business.
This role is the difference between “good start” and “real company.”
Who Shouldn’t Apply
Let’s be clear — this won’t be a fit if you:
- Need heavy management before you start building.
- Prefer long planning cycles over learning by shipping.
- Only want to “write code” without caring about product impact.
- Feel most comfortable in a big corporate team with layers of support.
- See this as just another remote gig, not something to really own.
Who We’re Looking For
- Someone who thrives in a small startup vibe — fast iterations, constant learning, and real ownership.
- A developer who can drive features end-to-end, from database to UI, and ship consistently.
- A builder who enjoys taking full responsibility for the codebase and cares deeply about product quality.
- A pragmatic engineer who moves fast, but also makes thoughtful architectural decisions.
Core Responsibilities
- Own the Tutorbase codebase — maintainability, architecture, and velocity.
- Ship features fast — we have a clear backlog, and execution speed matters.
- Collaborate directly with the founder (me) to align product decisions with customer needs.
- Shape the future of the product — your technical input directly influences roadmap and UX.
Requirements
- 5+ years of full-stack development
- Strong TypeScript skills
- Next.js/React experience
- PostgreSQL/database expertise
- API development experience
Preferred
- Supabase experience
- Experience with SaaS / multi-tenant applications
- Familiarity with modern authentication systems
- Work with component libraries like shadcn/ui or Material-UI
Bonus
- Background in scheduling, education or tutoring platforms
- Experience with real-time applications
- Prior work on API integrations
Our Stack (so far)
- Next.js / React (TypeScript)
- PostgreSQL (hosted on Supabase)
- Supabase Auth & Storage
- Tailwind, shadcn/ui
- Node.js backend services
This isn’t locked in stone. You’ll have real influence over how we evolve.
