We’re hiring engineers who are passionate about technology and education, to help build new features into our existing products.
Our product team doesn't throw specs over some imaginary wall to engineering, and engineering doesn't throw code over some imaginary wall to QA. We all collaborate together. We highly value innovation, so much so that we have quarterly Hackweeks. A week each quarter to work on relevant pet projects and features.
Most of our work is open source, even our primary product (Canvas). Check us out on Github: www.github.com/instructure.
What We Do:
- We are full stack engineers with experience building web scale services in a loosely coupled but highly integrated system, as well as developing web scale single-page web apps with modern web technology.
- We are a mixed stack and polyglot team with a deep commitment to quality and to using the right tech for each problem we solve.
- This team works on a lot of different projects every 3-6 months - we need someone with broad knowledge of technologies
- Our engineers become the primary owners of services that expand our product
- We use Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL, Linux, and our platform runs on AWS.
What we look for:
- Breadth of experience (and interest) in different languages and frameworks.
- Skilled full stack developer, or an expert back-end and DevOps developer.
- Someone that wants to be the primary owner of services. These services expand the capabilities of Canvas.
- Ability to solve complex problems requiring in-depth analysis.
- At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience with strong preference towards Ruby development.
- Knowledge of Agile best practices.
- Capable Communicator.
