We're bringing India's k-12 education system into the 21st century. We are hackers, designers, business developers, marketers, hailing from institutions like St. Stephens, IIT Kanpur with past work experience at Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Apple, Amazon, McKinsey & Co, Bain, Goldman Sachs, and more. We were founded by an MIT computer science / Harvard MBA alumnus, and the former CEO of Apple India. For the past few years, we've brought project-based learning to thousands of k-12 students across the nation via coding and app development workshops. Today we're building interactive online learning platforms to scale these powerful learning experiences to millions. We're just getting started. Come be a part of the fun. WHAT WE'RE BUILDING: Gamified, intelligent virtual classrooms where students earn while they learn from live teachers (rather than pre-recorded videos). We use technology to give teachers and students superpowers, rather than replacing teachers with static vids. Features include real-time analytics for teachers (e.g. student engagement and understanding), rewards for peer learning (students earn when they help each other, answer quizzes correctly, are punctual, etc.), and personalization to account for students learning at different paces. TECH STACK: Node.js, Express, MongoDB on the backend, and React on the front-end. We make heavy use of socket.io (web sockets) and WebRTC for updating state of classrooms, for real-time messaging, and live audio/video/screen sharing. ABOUT YOU: - You're awesome at javascript, and have been coding with Node.js / Express for 2+ years - You have implemented a React front-end on at least one other live, production-grade web application being used by real people for a real use-case. - You love to code, even when nobody is forcing you / asking you to. You build things for fun, and you stay aware of what's happening in tech. - You can operate at all levels of the stack, and you care about user experience / user-centric design. - You have experience with web sockets - Huge plus: Dev Ops i.e. you know how to build / configure scalable architectures for Node.js and web socket apps. This is a full-time job based out of Camp K12's Gurgaon office. We work 6 days a week. If you're interested, start by sending us web links of what you've built in the past.
