Experienced Software Engineer

About The Role:

We are an effective team of fully remote engineers distributed across the US and Canada. Our philosophy is to start small and then intentionally iterate to test our assumptions and learn quickly. We're iteratively building up a complex product for a highly engaged audience, getting a lot done by staying focused on the work that matters.

We work in modern JavaScript (TypeScript), React, GraphQL/Apollo, and Node, backed by PostgreSQL. Our consumer search is powered by OpenSearch, fed with data from Kafka.

We believe that the future of education is hybrid: online and in-person. We are looking for engineers at various experience levels who are excited about inspiring children to learn by building tools that allow children to access a fundamentally different learning experience. We value hands-on experience most of all. If this opportunity sounds fun and interesting to you, feel free to apply!

Core Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with a team of Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers in building high-quality products for parents, learners, educators, and partners.
• Build and maintain software solutions on all levels of our stack from React+HTML+CSS+Next.JS to GraphQL+Node.js+SQL.
• Engage with the team in gathering requirements, day-to-day activities such as daily standups, sprint planning, retros, deploying features in production, and on-call.

Desired Experience & Skills:

• 5+ years of industry experience working as an Engineer, working in modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React) and Node-based applications.
• Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL.
• Experience writing APIs with Typescript.
• Track record of ownership of complex technical projects.
• Willingness to mentor others in what you know.

Other Considerations:

• Previous experience in startups.
• Experience integrating with a payments system.
• Previous EdTech experience.
• Experience with Next.JS, GraphQL, AWS, and experimentation frameworks.
