TeachersPayTeachers - New York, NY http://www.teacherspayteachers.com Hey! I'm building out a new engineering team at an established startup in Ed-Tech. First, a little bit of who we are: TpT is the world's first and biggest online open marketplace where teachers buy, sell, and share original educational materials. Our community of over 4 million teachers connects and shares knowledge on the site every day, and has generated almost $150 million in sales of some of the best, original, most creative classroom resources. Now, for you. Do you love what Github has done for software? Can you imagine having to write a web server from scratch every time you build a website? Do you love being a developer that's standing on the shoulders of giants? That's what we're doing for teachers at TpT - creating a culture and marketplace to empower teachers. Every teacher out there knows what it's like to work a full day in the classroom and then work all night putting together lesson plans for the next day. TpT is where they can find other teachers who've dealt with the same problem and are putting up their crafted resources for sale. I'm putting together a 'dream team' so to speak of engineers who will be the core of our NYC team. The site is currently PHP with NGINX and MySQL on either end. However, we're playing with Ruby quite a bit and tend to be polyglots. * Software Engineer - http://grnh.se/l56nvo
