Outschool (YC W16) | Remote | Full-time | Software Engineers and Infrastructure Engineers https://jobs.lever.co/outschool/ca399e53-20c8-49c8-be05-16d9... Our business is growing explosively: 900,000+ learners have taken more than over 7M class hours. We've more than quadrupled our team since the beginning of 2020 from 25 to 118 to keep up with growth. We’ve raised $130M since founding with most of that still in the bank. We’ve also been named Fast Company’s most innovative edtech company in the world and in the top ten best startups for women from Elpha. Plus we're making $1M of live online classes available for free to families in need and adding thousands of new teachers in weeks. We are an effective team of fully remote engineers distributed across the US and Canada. Our philosophy is to start small and then intentionally iterate so we can 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 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. If you have over 2 years of experience we encourage you to apply. We value hands-on experience most of all.
