Overview
Are you a skilled developer looking to use your expertise in a small, collaborative team with a supportive environment?
About the Company and Sites
BrightSprout is a suite of innovative, online tools that help teachers quickly and easily create classroom materials. Our close-knit team of nine helps hundreds of thousands of educators around the globe make activities like worksheets, crosswords, word searches, bingo sets, and flashcards.
About the Position
We’re searching for a Software Development Tech Lead to help us create the next generation of tools for teachers. This full-time (40 hours/week), long-term position, is the most senior member of the development team and is primarily responsible for the technical direction of the company.
You will be responsible for ensuring our system architecture across multiple codebases develops sustainably. In addition to your own development responsibilities (about 50% of the role), you will also achieve this through leading code reviews, coaching other developers, and working with the CEO to ensure our architecture is aligned to support our business needs.
The role also has a significant DevOps component. You will be responsible for maintaining our server setup (Digital Ocean), deployment scripts, and development environments, and for tracing anomalies found by our application monitoring (New Relic) to fixable code issues.
Salary Range
USD$110-120k
Work Culture
Get the autonomy of remote work alongside the benefits of small company culture––all while making significant contributions to a business that helps people. We’ve always been an all-remote company, and are committed to realizing the benefits of remote work.
Aside from our daily standups (3 PM UTC), you can work from anywhere in the world with a flexible schedule.
We enjoy our work because we like helping teachers and get excited to solve difficult challenges with creative code. There are no orders from on high and no one’s looking over your shoulder. Because we’re small, everyone has a voice as we work together to iterate the best solutions for our users. We like this approach and hope you do, too.
