About Bridge-it
Bridge-it is an early-stage EdTech company building a career-readiness platform for K-12 students, counselors, and districts. Students explore careers, colleges, and non-college pathways; build multi-year plans; and get guidance from an AI Copilot that is grounded in their own plans, school data, and a curated knowledge base. Counselors use the same platform to supervise, nudge, and intervene at scale.

The AI Copilot is the heart of the product — a production LangGraph-based agentic system serving real students, where being

matters more than being fluent. We hold ourselves to strict grounding, safety, and tenant-isolation standards, and we measure everything.

About The Role
You will join a small AI team that owns the Copilot end to end: the agentic orchestration graph, retrieval and grounding, safety guardrails, response contracts with the frontend, and the evaluation platform that keeps it honest.



We are mid-flight on an ambitious redesign — collapsing multiple experimental graph variants into a single workflow-first architecture with typed claim verification, constitutional rules, and per-turn decision records — and you would step directly into that work.

This is a senior role with a visible leadership runway.

For the right person, this role grows into a techno-management position.

What you'll do
- Design, build, and operate agentic LLM workflows in LangGraph — routing, planning, parallel retrieval, tool execution, verification, and streaming — serving live student and counselor traffic over WebSockets.
- Own RAG quality: multi-source retrieval across vector stores (Milvus, pgvector), a
