About the company

Our client is an education technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

- Collaborate in small project groups with engineers, designers and program staff to launch new pilots and user-facing experiences.

- Offer product suggestions and weigh technical tradeoffs, with guidance from more senior engineers.

- Write clean, maintainable code across the stack and review teammates' code.

- Take part in an on-call rotation and help improve platform operations and internal tooling.

- Working knowledge of a typed language and a relational database, such as TypeScript and Postgres, or a comparable stack.

- Familiarity with a major cloud provider such as AWS or GCP.
