Job description
Overview of job
This position is remote based.
Are you a seasoned Backend engineer who wants a job that serves a larger purpose? Are you interested in making a meaningful, life-changing difference for millions of students? Digication is changing the way students learn from the ground up. Instead of rote learning through lectures and tests, Digication allows students to create online portfolios - collaborative and safe learning spaces - to encourage project-based learning. Campuses report that sustained ePortfolio usage leads to higher levels of student success, including significant increases in pass rates, GPA, and retention rates. Digication is now being used by students at over 6,000 K-12 and Higher Education schools.
About your responsibilities:
- Collaborate closely with product designers to review visual designs and collect technical requirements
- build new features or entirely new products using well designed, testable, efficient backend code
- Help to maintain, expand and scale our web application for our next growth phase
We work remotely and employees are spread around the globe but more importantly we work as a team, with direct access to the company founders. We are self motivated, hold ourselves accountable for our work and commitments. Although we work with a sense of urgency, we don’t like cutting corners. Integrity is more important for us then profitability (although we are profitable!). We are not a “work hard/play hard” startup but responsible adults with diverse backgrounds and interests who take our mission, our clients and our lives seriously. We value personal growth and learning over titles and salaries.
Job Requirement
- Hands-on experience as an engineer of at least 5+ years who has worked as a Lead on projects in the past
- Expert level TypeScript programming (GraphQL backends with TypeORM, type-graphql and Apollo)
- Excellent knowledge of how web applications work including HTTP, browsers, security, sessions and asynchronicity
- debug complex issues all the way from the browser, through the transport, the application & servers and the databases & asynchronous queues
- You have great written and verbal skills

BUSINESS PROFILE
Digication, make learning visible.
Change the way students learn. We're looking for great people to join us on our mission.
We believe students learn better when they are immersed in projects that they care about, not meaningless tests that have little to do with the real world. Digication lets students create their own learning portfolio online and share between friends, professors, and potential employers. More than 6,000 colleges and K-12 schools are already using our system.
