JOB-1620
A nonprofit education technology organization runs a global platform where learners teach and support each other through live tutoring, discussion groups and community. It is hiring a product-minded engineer to join a very small engineering group and take ownership of whole features.
How you’ll spend your time
- Carry features from understanding the user problem with stakeholders through scoping, specs, build and iteration
- Work in compact cross-functional squads of designers, engineers and program staff, launching experimental programs and new ways to learn
- Contribute product suggestions and decide on engineering trade-offs, with backing from senior colleagues
- Produce tidy, maintainable code using Postgres, Node.js, Next.js, React and TypeScript, and review others’ work
- Share an on-call rotation of about one week every five to seven weeks and streamline operations and trust-and-safety tooling
Background that fits
- Three to six years of full-stack engineering
- Shipped consumer-facing features used by thousands of people, ideally at a small, fast-growing consumer startup
- Comfort with typed languages and relational databases
- Ability to define problems, write specs and work with non-technical colleagues
- A real interest in education or social impact
- Nice to have: ed-tech, marketplaces, video or real-time products, trust and safety work, AWS or GCP
