We’re looking for an experienced senior full-stack developer with experience in PHP, Ruby on Rails, and React with Redux. Experience in education technology and/or literacy research is a plus but isn’t necessary. This job will involve work in all parts of our platform, from database architecture to user interface design.
We are an education technology company working in early childhood literacy. Our product is supported by 10 years of peer-reviewed research that shows it to be the most effective literacy instruction solution currently available. We are currently in the midst of our first commercial release to nearly 20,000 students across the United States, and we’re growing quickly.
Collaboration will be an important part of this position. Our team is small and we have a very high degree of autonomy in how our team works and how solutions are implemented, so your perspective will always be sought out and considered. The dev team works directly with users and district representatives, so we get to see the direct impact of our work. We also work directly with the researchers behind our product to ensure fidelity to their research.
