Job description

Hi there :)

Thanks for checking in to find out about our open position. We´ll provide as much information as possible, but please feel free to reach us if you have further questions. We´ll be happy to see your application, even if there are skills you don't quite master!

About the Role
Schools and districts rely on our client to help families and educators communicate and partner to support their students, and we need you!
You will both teach and learn from your teammates as you seek to understand their challenges, needs, and expertise as you work with them to ship new features every sprint. You will do a little bit of everything - design, code, test, deploy, debug, find and fix bugs, reduce costs, secure our systems, run projects, document challenges, improve processes, and be a trustworthy member of our team.

What you need to succeed in this role
● Web development with large-scale services on PHP and JavaScript/TypeScript
● Service and application development with MySQL/Postgres
● Deploying and operating systems at scale on AWS/Aurora/RDS/SQS
● Proficiency with RESTful API development
● Familiarity with incremental, agile development processes, as well as CI/CD

If you get the job, you will have to:
● Partner closely with customers and Product Owners to define, build, and ship new features for educators on the platform.
● Partner closely with peers in engineering to constantly improve the cost, security, scalability, and maintainability of the platform
● Work across our ecosystem - web, service layer, database, message queues - to deliver value for our customers
● Operate our production systems at scale by identifying and fixing bugs, reviewing your peers’ code, and debugging systems when faults arise.
● Design, break down, release, and lead projects that serve the educators who rely on the platform every day.
● Provide mentorship and technical guidance to other engineers
