AI Agent Builder (Python, Django, English)

Job description

About Us

Arrowster is an SF-based startup building the AI-native platform for studying abroad. We're a small team moving fast and backed by the founding team and board at OpenAI, Duolingo, and Meta.
Our product is a vertical AI agent for international education / studying abroad — starting with Vietnam and SEA. AI will centralise all the insights students need, provide 24/7 support on basic queries, and eliminate boring paperwork. Meanwhile expert counselors step in to provide support where it matters most.
 

Mission
Every year, 2M+ students navigate a broken, paper-heavy process to study abroad. We're using AI to make it 10x easier. Your automation will directly help thousands of Vietnamese students achieve their dreams.
 

What you'll actually build

• Build agent-powered features in Python/Django/DRF: endpoints, admin tooling, workflows for students and counselors.
• Sit with GTM/Sales, turn messy pains into working agent use-cases
• Integrate Zoho, email, analytics, CMS, ads via clean APIs/webhooks and lightweight ETL.
• Ship growth automations: content blocks, segmentation, triggers, dashboards; measure lift.

Your skills and experience

• Based in HCMC or willing to relocate
• Python & Django in production (incl. DRF, testing, auth, models/admin). Agent experience: shipped agents via code (LangGraph/CrewAI/AutoGen or similar) and/or n8n/Zapier/Make; connects to real tools/APIs.
• API craft: REST design, OAuth2/JWT, pagination, rate limits, webhooks.
• AI stack: OpenAI/Anthropic, prompt work; familiarity with RAG/vector stores is a plus.
• Bias to action, clear comms, ownership in ambiguity.
• You use AI tools like Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT to code faster
   

Bonus points if you have:

• GTM / Sales awareness: funnels, UTM/attribution, segments/cohorts; translate commercial needs into software.
• Zoho ecosystem experience

Why you'll love working here

Working time:

• 6-day work week in HCMC - we're always building, but weekends are more flexible.
• Technical ownership from Day 1 - your code touches thousands of students and internal ops
• Urgency - ship in days what others take months to build.
   

This is what you'll gain

• Equity and top-of-market salary (30M+ VND, based on experience).
• Work directly with our CTO who has deep expertise in distributed data systems, previously processing millions of data points daily for global trading desks at Goldman Sachs.
• Technical autonomy to architect automation solutions from scratch that directly impact student futures and company growth.
• Learning curve that outpaces most engineers twice your age.
• Work with people who match your intensity.
