Gradescope - https://gradescope.com | Berkeley, CA | full time | ONSITE Assessment in education is broken -- instructors spend hours grading, and yet don't get a clear picture of what their students are struggling with. Gradescope lets instructors give out the same paper-based assignments they've always used, but then grade them online, while keeping track of the exact mistakes made by every student on every question. This enables unprecedented data analytics: we can reveal which concepts a student needs help with, or which questions are too difficult. To top it off, instructors finish grading in half the time. We're now applying computer vision to help instructors grade even faster. Our product has been used to grade over 10 million questions belonging to over 100,000 students. We recently raised a seed round, and are hiring a senior full-stack engineer to join our team of 7. We offer market-rate salary with generous equity. We've got a Rails backend with some React on the frontend. If you’re interested, please email jobs@gradescope.com.
