Lingokids mission is to remove language barriers and provide quality
education for all children around the world. To achieve it, we are
building a new product for educators and we are in need of a Full-stack
Developer.
The company
We are building an online language learning platform for children.
With fresh content every week, we are helping more than 6M families and
their children around the world learn English in a fun and effective
way. But we don't just rest on our laurels, and we want to also help
educators to use Lingokids materials and methodology in their classes.
To achieve this we have just launched our Educators’ Program.
