Remind - https://remind.com - SOMA, San Francisco, CA - All Engineering roles. Remind is hiring JavaScript, iOS, Backend, Full Stack, Data Engineers & Data Scientists in our SOMA-based San Francisco office. We're on a mission to improve K-12 education in our lifetime. Want to help? Check out our jobs page - https://www.remind.com/careers. FAQs: - 23M users, 150M messages/month & 23 engineers, raised $59M - we’re the WhatsApp of education: a messaging app for teachers, students, and parents. No phone numbers are ever exchanged, no conversations are ever deleted. And because everyone has a phone (we do SMS too), students and parents get more involved. One teacher said his homework completion rates jumped from 75% to about 99%. That makes us super happy. - tech: architecture consists of many small microservices built with Ruby, Node.js and Go, running on top of Heroku and AWS behind a public RESTful API - http://api.remind.com. We use Postgres, DynamoDB and Redis heavily, with a massive job queue backed by Sidekiq and RabbitMQ. Frontend clients include a native iOS & Android app as well as a full AngularJS single page app - in process of moving to React and ES6. - iOS app has 4.5 rating. The reviews should explain our impact - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remind-safe-classroom-commun... Perks: - competitive salary and equity - lots of opportunities to connect with teachers and other end users - open vacation policy - catered meals - stocked kitchen and fridge - health and fitness reimbursement - transit and parking benefit - trips to technical conferences - monthly Hack Days - foosball table, couches, 20-foot loft ceilings w/lots of light - 100% health premium coverage for you and your dependents
