Description

There’s a revolution currently taking place in the education and training field and you want to be a part of it. You feel strongly about access to education and you may have even taken a few MOOCs or online classes yourself. Come help us make education accessible to all.


There are those who piece together scripts they found left and right, and there are those who really dive into purposeful code. You want to be part of the second category: those who design the code of tomorrow’s applications!


You believe there’s no point in rushing. Using the latest, quickest framework or language isn't the solution to everything. Real, robust code requires a lot of thinking and testing, and it should be easy to update without risks!


We use PHP, Symfony, PostgreSQL, Algolia, and other tools to develop services via REST APIs. Each piece of code is carefully built, tested, and reviewed with love by another developer.

We also use Clean Architecture, TDD, clean code principles, the boyscout rule among others.


Today, we are creating new squads. Being part of one of these cross-functional teams, you will work together with a Product Manager, Product Designers, other Backend and Frontend Developers and a QA Engineer.



What will you do?

  • Build robust, real-time updated connections between different solutions used by our education platform, while minimising dependencies.
  • You will work cross-team to develop new features
  • You will propose new ideas to improve and iterate on our product and assess their impact
  • You will interact with your teammates via peer programming and review, development workload refinement, and evaluation
  • You will contribute ideas to improve our engineering standards and processes



You might be a fit for this position if:

  • You have at least 4 years experience as a backend developer
  • You are passionate by application architecture including concepts like design patterns and clean architecture
  • You are experienced with REST APIs and familiar with technologies such as PHP, Symfony, Twig, PostgreSQL, PHPUnit, Git, Composer, among others
  • Continuous integration and deployment is, for you, the best way of working
  • You love to learn, improve yourself, and give and receive feedback
  • Reliability and kindness are part of your mindset
  • You can communicate both orally and in writing in both French and English



Hiring process

After your application you will:

  • Get in touch with our Engineering Manager over the phone
  • Discuss your technical skills with the Tech Team in our office
  • Meet HR and team members from outside of the Tech Team (Student Success, Revenue, Marketing, etc.) to learn about our values and our company culture
  • Meet with our CTO to understand Tech vision: this is an opportunity for you to understand our upcoming challenges and to ask all the remaining questions you may have


You will also be asked to provide us with professional references.
