Here is a quick video overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABeas_8LEY We are a small team of 5, looking to take on at least two new developers in the coming months to help us improve our educational offering and build brand new consumer facing games and products, mainly on the web, but we are also looking at native apps and physical products. We use Node.js on the server alongside various databases (Mongodb, Postgresql, Redis). We are introducing a new Graphql API and dabble in NLP to analyse the students work. On the client, we are refactoring our code base to use React/Redux, we also make heavy use of canvas and various animation techniques to bring the site to life for the children. We are looking for good javascript developers that relish working as part of a small team and have experience with web based games, or at least complex web apps. You will be working on products that evolve rapidly and most importantly, help make a difference to kids in schools across the world. Salary will depend on experience/skills, stock options can be available if you decide that you'd like to join the team long term after working with us for a few months.
