We leverage user insights, research, and experience to build content, products, services, and experiences that our users trust and love. Our success is defined by the success of our learners and educators.\nTake a stand\nAs a company, we have conviction in our aspirational point of view of how education will evolve.

However, we also listen, learn and flex in the face of new data, and commit to evolving this point of view as the industry and our users evolve.\nEmbrace diverse perspectives\nWe are a diverse community. We seek out and embrace a diversity of voices, perspectives and life experiences leading to stronger, more inclusive teams and better outcomes.

When a decision is made, we commit to moving forward as a united team.\nWork responsibly and sustainably\nWe understand that achieving our audacious mission is a marathon, so we set realistic timelines and we focus on delivery that also links to the bigger picture. As a non-profit, we are supported by the generosity of donors as well as strategic partners, and understand our responsibility to our finite resources. We spend every dollar as though it were our own. We are responsible for the impact we have on the world and to each other. We ensure our team and company stay healthy and financially sustainable.\nBring out the joy\nWe are committed to making learning a joyful process. This informs what we build for our users and the culture we co-create with our teammates, partners and donors.\nCultivate learning mindset\nWe believe in the power of growth for learners and for ourselves.

\nAbout the Team\n\nProduction Engineering is the team that owns and improves the live production websites and web services used to deliver our flagship program, Teach To One: Math. The team’s diverse skill set spans multiple stacks and platforms, and even multiple clouds. We make sure that the many thousands of students and teachers in our program nationwide can rely on our technology every school day.\n\nAbout the Role\n\nWe’re in the middle of rebuilding 100% of our technology from the ground up and are therefore supporting both a legacy environment and a rapidly growing new one. Each time we complete another piece of our new platform, Production Engineering partners with other teams to ensure launch readiness and do the actual launch, and then takes on ownership of that site or service. This role can be remote.\n\nAbout You\n\nYou seek out worthwhile challenges, thrive in complexity, and enjoy making complicated things simpler. Your technical depth is matched by your depth of character; nothing is ever “someone else’s problem” to you. Your teammates can always count on you in a pinch; you exhibit grace under pressure. You’re always learning and always improving. You let nothing stand in your way because success is the only option when serving the greater good.\n\nAbout the Technology\n\nNew environment\n\n\n* Angular 6+\n\n* Modern RESTful web services built with .NET Core 2+, C#, and OAuth 2 / OpenID, all running on a PaaS and not tied to any particular OS\n\n* Microsoft SQL Server\n\n* MongoDB Atlas, but only for distributed caching and locking\n\n\n\n\nLegacy environments\n\n\n* Various JavaScript frameworks including AngularJS, React, Knockout, and Sammy.js\n\n* Old-school sites and console apps built with .NET Framework 4+, C#, ASP.NET, SignalR, and Microsoft SQL Server, all running on Windows VMs\n\n* Python (with Django and Celery) and RabbitMQ running on Linux VMs, backed by a PostgreSQL cloud service\n\n* Jenkins, but not for what you’d expect\n\n\n\n\nBoth environments\n\n\n* Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services\n\n* Serverless: Azure Functions and AWS Lambda\n\n* PaaS: Azure App Service and AWS Elastic Beanstalk\n\n* IaaS: Azure Virtual Machines, AWS EC2 instances, and various other service\n\n* Atlassian: Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Bamboo\n\n\n\n\nRequirements\n\n\n* Up-to-date expertise in C#. We’re also open to candidates who are strong in another language and interested in switching.\n\n* Solid understanding of REST, HTTP, and Internet/web/cloud fundamentals.\n\n* Familiarity with relational databases and SQL.\n\n* Familiarity with JavaScript (especially TypeScript and Angular), HTML, and CSS.\n\n* Extraordinary attention to detail.\n\n* Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills.\n\n* Expertise in anything listed under “Legacy Environments” above is a plus.\n\n* On-call duty, but don’t worry, we get it. The leadership of New Classrooms includes a recovering former Google SRE. We respect your time.\n\n\n\n\nApplication Information\n\nEqual Opportunity\n\nAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality or sex.\n\nWork Authorization\n\nIn compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification document form upon hire. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Engineer, JavaScript, Amazon, Cloud, Microsoft and Linux jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n
