  • Work that matters. You’ll be solving major technical and conceptual problems that will impact millions of kids, in a new and critical space in education and human development. You’ll build a category-defining company here.
  • The chance to come out to Silicon Valley (we're based in Palo Alto, for now) and build your reputation and network here.

  • The opportunity to join one of the world’s fastest-growing edtech companies right at the ground level, as one of the earliest members of the team. You’ll shape and build this company, and (we hope!) leave your mark on it.

What we're doing

We’ve made a tool that hundreds of thousands of teachers and students love and use every day to build positive behavior and character strengths at school, with real-time feedback – but that’s just the first tiny step.

40 years of research and practice show that specific character strengths have a huge effect on test scores - as well as on average incomes, health outcomes and college dropout rates. So how do we create an education that doesn't just build test scores, but also the character traits that make people successful in life?

It's a tough problem - and one that holds a real key to unleashing human potential. That's what we're doing.


What we use

We run a large node.js stack, and we write our front-end and back-end in JavaScript/CoffeeScript. We store millions of records in MongoDB and Postgres. Our front-end is built on Backbone.js, and our back-end is a REST API, which is shared by the web and mobile clients. We deploy continuously - light on process, big on speed and impact.


Culture

We’re a passionate, ambitious, fun team, and we have a lot of good times together. The culture is sociable and informal: whether its an epic board game night, team yoga, the ClassDojo Retreat, Mojito Fridays or just ripping on Liam's ridiculous shoes.

We love doing high quality work, and we believe everyone who joins should have the creative freedom to do it. We're also very keen on working efficiently, so we're adopting a lot of this way of doing things. Because we work so closely together, we like sociable people who make others want to be around them. We also like people who debate things thoughtfully (in both senses of the word), and without animosity.

We are committed to creating a world-class education technology company, where extraordinary people love to work (and play!). And remember: when you join, you'll be one of the earliest members of the team - you will help create the culture.
