Fullstack Job: Full Stack Engineer

We're looking for someone to ready to join the web development team of a profitable, growing company that teaches tens of millions of kids to code. You'll work directly with top-tier educators and developers building a product that teaches computer science to kids while actually being fun! The best part: this is a hands-on role. Less meetings, more coding! Sound exciting? Read on...

About the Role

You will have the opportunity to own a variety of projects including our backend API (Ruby), frontend dashboard (React), progress reporting architecture, server optimization for millions of requests a day, and everything in-between. You’ll work closely with every member of the Kodable team to make the greatest coding platform for kids even better. We’re still a small-but-growing team, so you’ll be asked to build large, high-traffic systems with little outside interference. No bureaucracy, just build it.

Who we’re looking for:

• You care deeply about programming education
• You have 3+ years web development experience in a production environment (not school or personal projects)
• You have a deep working knowledge of JavaScript (and have strong opinions on var vs let)
• You have contributed significantly to the release of a production-level application (preferably not a side-project, something with actual users)
• You have experience with REST APIs from both client and server sides
• You have experience writing performant SQL queries and managing a high-traffic database (preferably PostgreSQL)

Highly Preferable if:

• You have experience with Ruby
• You have experience working with a front-end framework in a production environment (ideally React)

Bonus Points for:

• Experience with Sinatra, Sequel, Grape, or ActiveRecord
• Experience with background jobs and asynchronous architecture (Sidekiq even better!)
• You've used JavaScript build systems such as Gulp
• You've worked with AWS Lambda and background jobs
• Letting us know why you want to work here! Our founders read every application
