Steve Jobs considered K-12 education the final frontier untouched by modern technology. We want to change that. At its core, education has a fundamental data problem – schools run on legacy infrastructure that is impossible for hackers to build on top of.
We’re on a mission to replace the terrible things that developers have to do to build classroom software (think nightly CSV FTP transfers) with APIs that feel more like Facebook’s or Stripe’s. E.g. https://getclever.com/developers/docs/
Clever is a team of 10, located in San Francisco. When we started a year ago, 4 schools used Clever. Today, Clever is used by 5,000 schools, making it the fastest-growing company in education. We're looking for talented hackers who want to help us build Clever into something every school, student, and teacher relies on.
Here’s a sampling of the tools we work with daily:
- Javascript (Node, Backbone)
- Python (Fabric, Salt, Buildbot)
- mongoDB
- Gearman
- Logstash
- AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, R53, SES)
Tools we're experimenting with as we scale:
- Go
- Postgres
- Riemann
- Angular
What Clever offers:
- Challenging problems in architecting and scaling
a developer platform and school-facing product
- A chance to shape the future of education
- Significant equity stake in a well-funded company
- Flat and close-knit engineering team
- Great benefits: healthcare, dental, unlimited
Amazon budget, beautiful office, free lunch, etc.
