The Problem
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.
When we started a year ago, four schools used Clever. Today, Clever is used by over 15,000 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.
A Day in the Life
Interested in APIs, education, data, and scaling a system that supports over 1 in 9 schools in the U.S? As an engineer at Clever you will join a tight-knit team working on challenging problems that span the entire stack—from high-performance back-end services to rich front-end web apps. Clever is built with a variety of tools—part of our engineering philosophy is to "use the right tool for the job":
- Javascript (Node, Backbone)
- Python (Fabric, Salt, Buildbot)
- Go
- Docker
- MongoDB
- Gearman
- Logstash
- AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, R53, SES)
- HAProxy
- Riemann
- Angular
