The opportunity
UK schools spend over £2bn per year on covering
short term absences with supply teachers. The current model is
exclusively reliant on agencies that charge a massive commission and are
terribly inefficient — everything is paper and phone-call based.
We are consolidating this analogue, fragmented, and
inefficient marketplace onto a digital platform. In the process we’ll
pull hundreds of millions of waste out of the education system and have a
huge positive impact on teachers and schools.
We are well-funded by high-profile investors, have
had significant early traction, and are led by start-up veterans behind
two of London’s most prominent tech companies.
Your chance to make a difference
This is your chance to join a tech startup on the
ground floor. As an early employee you will play a significant role in
the development of the company and have the opportunity for rapid career
progression and learning.
What we are looking for
- Experience with Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, HTML, and CSS
- Experience with ReactJS and good understanding of APIs is a plus
- Experience using memory-data stores such as Redis and background workers such as Sidekiq
- Strong bias to test-driven development & automation as well as experience with Git or other similar version control systems
- Knowledge of deploying to and managing cloud environments like Heroku is a plus
- Top performer that wants to be part of a high-performing, motivated team
- Growth mindset — dedicated to growing your skills as a professional
- Passion for companies that have a positive social impact and the education sector
What's in it for you?
- Work that you want to talk about
- Competitive salary
- Share in the company’s success — significant stock options
- 25 days of holiday
- Convenient Central London office
- Ambitious, high-impact mission to dedicate your time to with a tight-knight, fun-loving team
