One of the countries most exciting Edu-Tech companies is looking to take their company to even another level again. This role offers a chance to build and lead a team whilst working in one of the most exciting spaces and cultures in the city.

On the job, you will:

  • Develop new features and maintain existing ones across all company systems.
  • Manage and oversee a consistent agile development process with a strong velocity to keep up with new product development needs.
  • Keep our codebase at a high test coverage rate and near-perfect uptime.
  • Build a strong UX / product function that drives new product development and existing product optimization
  • Build a strong data analysis function that allows other teams to collect, access, and analyze data to improve their job function.

You’ll need:

  • The ability to hire and manage a team.
  • Comfort running an agile process and communicating with stakeholders, even without a product manager.
  • Experience in wireframes and knowledge of Product Design
  • 1+ years of experience in Design programmes such as Sketch/Azure or InVision
  • 3+ years of Ruby on Rails experience.
  • 1+ years of systems administration experience, including managing servers on a platform such as Heroku
  • Fluency with data and databases. Easily write SQL and work with complex spreadsheets.
  • Fluency with at least one front-end Javascript framework, preferably Vue.js.
  • Fluency in HTML, SCSS.
  • Expert in a modern Git workflow, with issues, pull requests, CI, and code review.

You’ll stand out if you:

  • Have a design, product management, or data background.
  • Have a strong passion for education and/or teaching.
  • Love contributing to non-tech areas of the business, such as new product development and design, UX, or analytics.
