A bit about us:

We are a fast growing, well rounded group of engineers that pride ourselves in innovation and collaboration. We're changing the game as it pertains to all things EdTech and are looking for several Mid-Senior level Python engineers who want to help us achieve our continued success.

If you are someone who has been coding since they were a wee lassy or lad, loves tinkering with new technologies, and is looking for a team where your ideas are not only welcomed, but also encouraged- this is the role for you. We are currently working remote, however the goal is to return to a hybrid environment later on this year once it is safe to do. Full remote work is definitely a consideration as we look to find the right fit!

Why join us?

Our team members are smart, innovative, and passionate about improving education through digital technology. We offer the best of both worlds: the energy and opportunity of a rapidly-growing organization, coupled with the stability of an extensive client base, strong financial backing, and proven track record of success. In addition to a forward-thinking environment with ample opportunity for professional and personal growth, our team members enjoy competitive compensation and benefit packages.
