Experienced Software Engineer

Position Overview

• Location Type: Remote
• Employment Type: Full-time
• Salary: $144,000 - $215,000 (Range varies by location)

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!
