We hire engineers “for the slope, not the intercept” – we’re looking for intellectual ability, flexibility and ability to learn, and commitment to work together in tight-knit teams.
Our Devops team builds the tools that empower every engineer to ship code to classrooms quickly and reliably. We believe strongly in teaching our teammates to fish – you’ll be an application engineer building great tools whose users are other engineers, not an “operations engineer” twiddling configs. You’ll be building the sharing and learning culture so that every team uses your tools to improve their own lives, and those of our students and teachers.
