Remote Content + Front End + Full Stack + JavaScript + Lead Jobs

# The short version ⏳\n\n**Mission:**  Enhance the way the world learns.\n\n**Why:**  Learning infrastructure should focus on community, collaboration, conversation - not on being a digital file cabinet 🗄️. \n\n**Who:**  Humble, curious and builder-mentality. 7+ years of full-stack development.\n\n**How:**  React, React-Native, microservices in Node.js, Docker, AWS, Redux, Mongo.\n\n\n# What is [Aula](https://aula.education)? 🐝\n\nAula is a remote-first 40-person team from 12 nationalities building a communication platform for education. Think ‘Slack for Education’.\n\nPowered by an ecosystem of integrations, Aula is the foundational layer in the university tech stack that shapes a whole industry.\n\nWe built Aula because we believe digital infrastructure should encourage community and participation-based learning.\n\nWe’re backed by people like the founder of Unity, CTO at Eventbrite, a co-founder of Zendesk, a co-founder of JustEat and world-class VCs like Project A, BrightEye and Sunstone.\n\n\n\n# Engineering @ Aula 🏔️\n\n## What we're building\n\nAula is a conversational platform for education.\nTo get a deeper sense of what that means and how that can foster engaging learning experiences, read more here:\n[Education starts with conversation: how we designed Aula](https://blog.aula.education/education-starts-with-conversation-how-we-designed-aula-126bc1fa8706)\n\n## Our tech stack\n\nA 10 min read from our CTO Oliver: [Bringing educational infrastructure into the 21st century - the stack](https://blog.aula.education/bringing-educational-infrastructure-into-the-21st-century-the-stack-be66b1a743c0)\n\n## Engineering challenges we're working on\n- Building frontend applications that deliver a seamless campus experience across devices (web, mobile, desktop)\n- Creating and maintaining the best infrastructure to deliver educational content and communication in real time.\n- Developing a powerful editor perfectly tailored for the creation of educational material and in-campus communication \n\n## [Product principles](https://blog.aula.education/product-principles-at-aula-398d1a2aa23f?source=collection_home---4------0---------------------)\n- Engagement first.\n- Enable educators to create the most engaging learning experiences.\n- Never more than 1 click away from human interaction.\n\n## Who we're building for \nWe're currently building for educators and students at universities. See what that means here:\n[Aula Personas](https://www.notion.so/e94ea2d2ca974d40ba4ae07638dcd459)\n\n## How our users benefit\n\n- **Students:** Aula means less one-way communication from the teacher, more collaboration with fellow students and easier access to student services like the welfare team. We aim to give every single student the sense of being part of their university’s community.\n\n- **Educators**: Aula means connecting with every student in your class and creating a truly engaging learning experience in a welcoming atmosphere.\n\n- **Universities**: Aula is a digital campus where the sense of belonging lowers student dropout rates and enables a move of focus from physical building to crafting distributed student experiences. \n\n[Here are some educators describing Aula in one word](https://cl.ly/b56b4d0ab0dd)\n\n## How our development team will look in 12 months\nEach product area will be led by a duo of a tech lead and a product manager, supported by full-stack contributors and tech leads on cross-platform areas like UI.\n\n\n\n# Responsibilities\n We’re looking for a seasoned full-stack engineer to build features across the entire stack (front-end, back-end, mobile) and challenge our thinking on architecture. \n\n**Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll be working on:**\n\n- Be part of leading a high-performing and inclusive team: inspiring team members, set priorities and own results\n- Building backend microservices\n- Pushing our thinking on core architecture choices\n- Working directly with Adrian, CPO and product designers, to build, maintain and improve slick user interfaces across devices\n- Switching between different apps and devices (web, desktop, iOS, Android)\n- Improving and maintaining our distributed architecture\n- Contributing to building a collaborative, productive and friendly remote workplace. \n\n# Requirements\n## We’d love to hear from you if… 🔍\n\n**You’re are the kind of person who**\n\n- Wants to foster a culture of no-ego team players who put the product first.\n- Adds another perspective to our team - for example, engineers who are women, transgender or identify as non-binary.\n- Thrives in caring and direct feedback environments.\n- Appreciates the value of diverse and inclusive teams.\n- Can arrange a working day with 4 hours of overlap with the workday in GMT.\n- Is excited to explore the world of remote working.\n- Consider yourself transparent, reliable and considerate.\n- Wants to join a 40-person startup journey with all the ups and downs.\n\n**You’ve done some of these things…**\n\n- Worked on both front-end and back-end, ideally 7+ years.\n- You have experience with React - unless you have significant Javascript experience with other libraries.\n- You have experience iterating on products from end-to-end (full feature).\n- Been part of excellent engineering teams as they scaled beyond 10 people.\n\n## Why join Aula? 🥕\n\n### Who we are 👋\n\nWe are a bunch of curious and silly-ambitious people who have set out to do our lives’ work. \n\n.png)\n\n### How we work remotely\n\nWe put a lot of care and thought into building a remote workplace full of collaboration, belonging and feedback.\n\n**We are building a product that fosters community and knowledge sharing in education, so we, of course ,eat our own dog food. 🐶**\n\n\n\n### Remote lunch 🍕\n\nEvery fortnight, we all grab a meal and meet on a Zoom link. Someone on the team volunteers to talk about something outside of work that they care about - from board games, to being a classroom teacher to bio-hacking. \n\n### Onboarding 👋\n\nThinking carefully about onboarding is crucial in distributed teams. We've carefully planned and iterated on an onboarding that quickly equips you with the technical knowledge, remote friendships and tips and tricks you need to feel at home and do your best work at Aula.\n\n### How we think about remote 📱\n\nWe see remote work as a creative constraint that forces us to think about what the ideal workplace looks like:\n\n> When 'mobile' became important, their small screens forced product managers, designers and engineers to rethink user interfaces - to remove clutter. This ended up affecting how people built desktop web pages. In the same way, remote work forces us to rethink work in a way that we think many standard office-based workplace could benefit from.\n\n### Benefits\n- **Personal development is part of being 'a high performer'.** You're supported in, and accountable for, your personal growth. You set the direction.\n- **Shared ownership:** Joining the Aula journey means you will own part of the company.\n- **Workspace**: Remote doesn't mean you have to work at home.\n- **Technology:** Get hooked up with the technology you need to do your best work.\n- **Free books:** Whatever you want to read.\n- **Family leave:** We offer enhanced family leave and pay - and a commitment to open, continuous communication.\n- **Travel stipends:** Go meet your colleagues.\n- **Flexible working:** We’re flexible about when and where you work as long as you have 4 hours of overlap with the workday in GMT.\n- **Company retreats**: Every 6 months, we meet up to connect, talk about big ideas and have fun. \n\nPlease mention the words **UPGRADE LAWN RADAR** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xODA=).

Ideal candidates should be able to architect and build large scale, JavaScript applications based on standard frontend Javascript tools and libraries and comfortable using build tools such as gulp, grunt, requirejs, or browserify. Some of our most recent applications have been written in ES6 using gulp, babel and browserify. As we expand as a team we are also adding automated testing to many of our tools and projects using tools such as Cucumber and Karma so experience with JavaScript BDD/TDD tools is a plus.\n\nCandidates should also be comfortable with other front-end web technologies and tools such as HTML, CSS and tooling such as SASS or LESS (we use SASS mostly)\n\nWe are a client facing organization so candidates should also be comfortable speaking directly with outside clients as well as internal design teams, producers and stakeholders.\n\nA Different Engine is looking for software craftsmen who take the vision from our design team and turns it into a reality for our clients.
