About the company

Our client is an education technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the design and delivery of full-stack web features from early discovery through launch. Work in small cross-functional groups with designers and business partners, talking with end users and influencing product direction as well as writing code.

What you'll do

- Own full-stack features end-to-end, from shaping the problem and scoping an initial release to building and iterating.

- Partner with engineers, designers and program staff to set up new initiatives and run quick experiments.

- Bring product thinking to the work by interviewing users, suggesting solutions and weighing technical feasibility against user needs.

- Write clean, readable code across the stack and improve shared patterns that make future development easier.

- Review code, pair with teammates and join an on-call rotation to keep the platform reliable.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Exposure to marketplace, live interaction or video-based products.
