Do you have a sharp eye for decomposing complex problems and an innate gift for writing elegant code? How does an environment that truly cares about your growth (without milking you dry) sound to you?
If you like the idea of spending your time meaningfully on cool edtech projects & NOT refactoring buggy, legacy code, you might be the next teammate that we’re looking for.
[About Our Company]
Our team is on a mission to create the best learning experience when it comes to Science tuition.
Over the past decade, we're constantly pushing back against traditional teaching practices that no longer work as well in this day and age.
