Job description

The Role

We are an effective team of engineers distributed across the US and Canada and now expanding internationally. 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/Express backed by PostgreSQL.

We believe that the future of education is hybrid - online and in person. We are looking for engineers at a variety of 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, Designers, User Researchers, and Product Analysts 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 to GraphQL+Node.js+SQL
• Engage with the team in gathering requirements, day-to-day activities such as standup meetings, sprint planning, retros, deploying features in production and on-call

DESIRED EXPERIENCE & SKILLS:

• 3+ years of industry experience working as an Engineer
• Experience 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 Javascript/Typescript
• Track record of ownership of technical projects
• English communication skills (intermediate or higher reading, writing, speaking and listening)

BENEFITS

• Coworking Office located directly at exit 11, Jangsan Station in beautiful Haeundae, Busan.
• Necessary equipment (MacBook, monitor, etc.) and software for work provided
• Finish work early in the day - working hours from 7AM - 3PM.
• Flexible vacation, use whenever you like. Korean national holidays plus 15 extra days per year.
• Invitation to join the annual company retreat once per year (flight to United States, hotel, meals paid for by company).
