Join our team
DataCamp is building the future of data science education. Our
students get real hands-on experience by completing self-paced,
interactive data science courses from the best instructors in the world,
right in the browser. In fact, millions of students around the world
have completed over 90 million DataCamp exercises to date.
DataCamp's engineering team consists of multiple product teams, that
consist of an embedded product manager, an engineering lead, and a group
of individually contributing engineers. This product team has a lot of
autonomy in deciding what to work on, how to build it and when to
deliver it.
We are looking for engineering leads to lead the existing learn
engineering team (responsible for all learning interface frontends and
the backends and session management framework to support it) and the
teach engineering team (responsible for the applications that make
teaching on DataCamp easy, fast and effective). In addition, we continue
to build new products to make learning data science engaging and
effective, and we are building new product teams for these initiatives
as well. More specifically, we need somebody to head our community and
open source efforts and somebody to start a new team focused on Excel
education.
As a full stack software engineering lead with a focus on JavaScript,
you will be responsible for improving, extending and maintaining one of
DataCamp's core products. Together with a product manager, you will
decide on a vision and take ownership of the entire code base and team
management to realise it. As a programmer, you will be coding on a daily
basis in both front-end and back-end, with a lot of flexibility to
experiment with the latest technologies. As a manager, you will be
responsible for further building out your team, planning out the work
and communicating progress to all stakeholders.
