Job Details
Who We Are
Our organization is a national nonprofit that has served over 22,600 students with high-dose math tutoring during their regular school day. Fueling this work is a bold vision to combat educational inequity by working with school districts to unlock the power of personal relationships to nurture academic, social and emotional growth for young people. Our students and schools represent historically marginalized communities. Our mission is to provide them rigorous, high impact tutorials that ensure they have the confidence and academic strength to achieve success in high school and beyond.
The Work and Why it Matters
Our software engineering team supports this bold vision by building best-in-class products. It enables our tutors (our Fellows and AmeriCorps members) to deliver high quality online math instruction. It was ranked as the best online platform for live instruction by the College Board, and today, we are proud to support the use of it by other organizations.
Last, we continue to deepen our direct support of math teachers through Woot Math, a research-based, award-winning adaptive learning and formative assessment platform for the K-12 math classroom.
Our team is passionate about building high-value products that enable transformative learning and support the teachers and tutors that are the frontline of that work. To do this, we continuously gather data, listen to our users, and focus on providing tools and platforms that are as effective as they are delightful.
We value the ability to learn quickly and to adapt to the ever changing tech landscape. Our current code base includes Javascript, HTML5, Haxe, GraphQL, Ruby, and Python. That said, we value code quality, design and ingenuity – and the ability to learn new tech – over any particular language expertise. The backend architecture leverages modern database technologies such as MongoDB as well as SQL. Our web stack is a state-of-the-art, multi-channel, high-availability, cloud-deployed solution with fully automated continuous deployment and testing.
No matter the language or technology, our goal remains the same to deliver best-in-class, innovative products that reimagine how software can help teachers and tutors reach more students.

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help accelerate the development of our scalable server environment, unify and expand our administrative and internal tools capabilities for our suite of products, and be an active member of the software team to help drive innovation in a rapidly changing environment.
We acquired Woot Math for it’s advanced technology platform, and is continuing to build out capacity and capabilities in the mobile web space. The Woot Math leadership team previously held executive positions at Disney Online, and the team has a rich history of developing award-winning, best-in-class software products.
