PlayPower Labs builds software for leading EdTech companies that serve millions of learners.
We help our clients solve hard product and engineering problems so they can deliver better learner experiences through advanced technology, thoughtful design, and reliable execution.
We’ve been fully remote since before COVID and plan to stay remote. We are US-based, with a development center in Gandhinagar, India.
What We BelieveWe believe technology is a force multiplier for education.
Great software can make learning more engaging, effective, personalized, and accessible for millions of learners worldwide. The future of education will be shaped by advanced online learning, AI, and education data, and we want to help build that future.
Education data combined with AI is opening up new ways to create adaptive, personalized learning experiences. We’re here to turn those opportunities into real products that learners, educators, and EdTech companies can actually use.
We’re looking for a high-energy fresher who wants to ship real products, not just follow tutorials.
You’ll work across Angular/React, Java/Node.js, AI tools, agents, and MCPs to build useful, secure, good-looking software. You don’t need to know everything on day one, but you should be curious, fast to learn, and comfortable using AI to punch above your weight.
This role is for someone who can ask sharp questions, take feedback, figure things out, and keep moving without being limited by traditional technologies.
You can find details on interview process here.
What You’ll DoBuild product features using Angular/React and Java/Node.js.

Use AI tools, agents, MCPs, and automation to code, debug, test, and learn faster.
Bring energy, curiosity, and momentum to a small team building a real product.
Strong fundamentals in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS, APIs, databases, and Git.
Exposure to Angular or React and Java or Node.js through projects, internships, coursework, or self-learning.
Strong sense of UI/UX and care about how the product feels.
Basic understanding of OWASP, cloud basics, Docker, CI/CD, or vulnerability scanning.
Startup energy: Ownership, Speed, Curiosity, and no “that’s not my job” attitude.
You’ve built side projects, internal tools, automations, agents, or AI-powered features.
You've won coding competition, earned credible certifications, secured top rankings in competitive coding, etc.
Remote work, real product exposure and a chill team that cares about building good things.
