Come help build the Minerva Forum: push the boundaries of WebRTC and dynamic real time web applications in order to create a compelling education environment. You can see a video of Forum at work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk5iiXqh7Tg
Work on challenging technology problems with a small, sharp, high-EQ team. Our engineering team is about 20 folks - 60% in SF, 30% remote in the US and 10% remote in Europe. Our tech stack is mostly Python/Django/DRF, React/Redux, and Backbone/Marionette. Our real time collaboration services are a combination of websockets, ShareDB, and WebRTC. We deploy to AWS - migrating from OpsWorks (Chef) to EKS (Kubernetes).
We'll have our KeyValues profile ready for next month's thread. (Hi @lynnetye - we are excited to be working with KeyValues!) In the meantime, you can read our Candidate FAQ Google Doc: https://bit.ly/2yuh5d5
By integrating advanced classroom technology with research-backed pedagogy and curriculum, Minerva enables institutions of all types and sizes to improve learning outcomes for students around the world. Minerva also formed an alliance with Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) to establish the Minerva Schools at KGI in 2013, a WASC-accredited, four-year, undergraduate institution that provides an exceptional and accessible education along with an immersive global student experience.
We deeply believe that education is critical to invest in, and get the opportunity to do this every day. We are transforming education at every level. We started with higher education, as that is the category that the world looks to as the pace setter in education, and are branching out into professional learning and high school. We truly believe education has the power to transform individuals and enable them to solve the world’s most critical problems.
