Job description

ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-12 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 45 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.

What you’ll do:

As a product engineer at ClassDojo, you'll work across the stack to build features and launch experiments that unlock opportunities and drive growth. You’ll work on production code from day one in a pair programming environment, deploy often, move quickly, and have your work used by millions of students, teachers, and parents around the world every day. In addition, you’ll help us further develop our high-quality engineering culture, one that values rapid iteration, collaboration, and best practices. Our code is heavily tested and deployed daily, and we’re serious about building a world-class engineering team.

You will be a match if:

• You have 7+ years of professional software experience, preferably with several years experience in Product Engineering or A/B Testing.
• You are driven and motivated by growth engineering and experimentation as a practice
• You have generated and executed product experiments that drove significant scale in users and revenue, as part of a company that scaled from 10 → 100m+ active users
• You have driven technical tooling and process around experimentation
• You have an ownership mindset: you are comfortable with both responsibility and accountability
• You're excited to get things done, in a fast-paced environment
• You're thoughtful about creating and maintaining a world-class engineering culture
• You work well in teams and enjoy collaborating with engineers, designers and product teams
• You enjoy working in a pair programming environment
• You are passionate about education and care about having impact on tens of millions of kids' lives with your work
• You live and work in the Americas timezones

Bonus:

• You’ve used React and/or Node at scale
• You've worked with MongoDB or MySQL
• You have DevOps experience, especially on AWS

We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
