Boston, MA - full time, internship - programmers, developers, technologists Smarterer http://smarterer.com/ Make a difference, change the world, have fun, do something cool. We're looking for creative hackers and programmers to join our dev team. I could be accused of drinking the Kool-aid, but I honestly believe Smarterer is doing something unique and important. We're approaching a point where traditional university credentialing isn't enough, skills are changing too quickly and what makes someone effective in a role or job is evolving. New roles appear daily that no (or few) traditional universities have courses for: e.g. growth hacker, social media evangelist, CNC machinist / programmer. People are acquiring more and more skills through non-traditional means. Nascent "education 2.0" initiaitives are exciting, but they still face the problem of measuring and credentialing, especially those that learn online. How do you show what you know? Smarterer has created an innovative testing system and scoring algorithm that allows rapid evolution of content, skill measurment, and question characterization. We've made it fun as well as rigorous, based on modern testing theories. Smarterer is helping enable a revolution: in the changing job marketplace, in education and learning, and in the way people measure their own skills and share that knowledge. Our mission: Measure the world's skills More job details here: http://smarterer.theresumator.com/apply/aetIvu/Web-Programme... You can also contact me directly at mikepk@smarterer.com
