Senior Software Engineer, gt.school (Remote) - $80,000/year USD

Help us to revolutionize the education industry!

Research shows that students learn best from individualized, interactive instruction. Yet today, kids sit passively in a classroom being lectured to, with a single teacher often managing 25 children or more. The current education system is not tailored to help children learn effectively. We want to change that.

GT School builds the first educational platform for gifted and talented children, driven by cloud services, machine learning and scientific insights. We develop an education metaverse with sophisticated gamification and an adaptive learning environment that engages children from day one and is fun to use. Our goal is to make children score top grades in one-fifth of the classroom time and without the boring exercises.

In this role, you will use your advanced coding skills and software design expertise to deliver quality code according to a high-level specification. In a globally remote team of software experts, you will leverage AWS serverless and other cloud technologies to implement a highly scalable and error-free educational platform. Experience in the gaming industry is appreciated. If you’re looking for a position at the forefront of digital transformation, this is an opportunity for you!
