A quick overview of our stack:
● Our client application is written in Javascript (ES6+) and built with React and a Flux application architecture.
● The application is fully isomorphic using NodeJS to render application state/snapshots server-side where possible.
● Our API services are built with Elixir, Phoenix, and PostgreSQL.
● We run on Google Cloud using Kubernetes and Docker.
● We are constantly improving our automated test suites which focus on functionality and integration tests built on Selenium and InternJS.
THE ROLE
As a Frontend Software Engineer you will work with modern Javascript libraries to create beautiful, interactive, and responsive interfaces that help people accelerate their learning.
We look for people who are passionate learners, work well in teams, and take pride in their work. It is not as important to us that engineers have specific experience with React, so long as they bring strong relevant experience.
The following skills are helpful:
● Experience in developing single-page applications with Javascript frameworks like React, Angular, Ember, or Polymer.
● Familiarity with Javascript design patterns and capabilities like promises, closures, block-scoped constructs, modules, and singletons.
● Expertise with writing HTML5 and CSS3 for mobile responsive web applications.
● Experience writing automated tests for Javascript-powered client applications.
● Superior problem solving and prioritization skills. The ability to consider a solution for right now, a week from now, and a month from now and strike the right balance to deliver value to users.
WHY US?
● You’ll work some of the brightest, kindest, and most passionate people anywhere.
● You’ll have the satisfaction of watching your work reach millions of students and teachers each year and feel good about your impact on the world.
● You’ll get to use the most cutting-edge client and server-side tools available. There is no legacy code. All PR’s are peer-reviewed, code is documented and tested, and we take to refactor as the complexity of the app increases. You get to craft software you are proud of and ship in quick iterations with confidence.
● You will play a meaningful role in the ideation, user experience, design, and testing of new features.
