Introduction

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a part of the core team of Airbnb or Netflix when they were just starting out? Here’s your chance to try that path with Ohana!

We are looking for a founding engineer to join our team.

Who we are

Ohana is an E-learning platform for holistic learning. We are an angel-funded early stage startup backed by some of the marquee angel investors from India and Singapore. Our investors include Vivek HR (co-founder and CEO, Bounce), Tanushree Gupta (co-founder and CEO, Doubtnut), Jagmal Singh (CTO, Janio Asia) to name a few!

Check us out at https://ohana.academy!


Our Product

“Creativity is as important as literacy” - Sir Ken Robinson

With this belief, Ohana is building the world's largest holistic learning academy. Our product offering:

The Classroom: Offering live online classes on arts, crafts, linguistics, yoga, dance and many more subjects
The Playground: Enabling social learning - a community for kids to find peers with similar interests


Our mission

India has 250Mn kids in the K12 segment. However, except the top 0.1%, most parents can’t find high-quality and affordable holistic learning for their kids. Fortunately, 140Mn kids are now connected to the digital world with 4G access. We want to leverage this new connectivity and bridge the gap in children's overall development with Ohana.


Where are we in our journey

Team: We are a team of two co-founders (Saurabh and Suyash), both IIT Delhi alums with over a decade of experience each in leading consumer businesses. We have a total of 15 people team including 4 engineers (currently outsourced)

Customers: Over the last couple of months, we have grown to 5,000+ registered users and aim to reach 10K+ paid users and 1 Mn+ community strength in the next 12 months.

Young, inspired, and focused - We are ready for take-off!


Our Culture

  • “Mission-driven” is not a buzzword for us. We care deeply about the impact we want to create on kid’s lives and we want to exemplify the value of “no child left behind”
  • Be inclusive - We are creating a product that is accessible and affordable. We want to solve this not just for Bangalore and Mumbai, but for Indore, Jabalpur, Raipur as well
  • Not just customer obsessed - we also care about their well-being. We are willing to compromise profits - but will not resort to unethical sales tactics or compromise on product quality
  • Our team cares about a strong culture and respects our code of conduct


Why work for us

  • We have global ambitions - Holistic education is a $75Bn global market, with India alone contributing more than $10Bn. Apart from salary compensation, you get a piece of the pie (equity) of a potentially billion-dollar organization
  • You will have exposure to building large, scalable systems and will be mentored by people who have done the same for millions of users
  • You will have exposure to starting up / entrepreneurship (ever feel like you want to build a startup?) owning end to end consumer tech product which impacts the life of thousands of students/parents on daily level


Job Location

We are based out of Bengaluru and work from an office. We encourage working from office, but are completely ok if you would like to work remotely until things return to normal.


Expectations from the role

  • You will work closely with the founding team and a small team of engineers, currently outsourced, in a fast-paced environment.
  • You will work as a tech lead and will be responsible for architecting the new features as well as improving the existing codebase. You will be expected to have a high degree of ownership and responsibility for deliverables.
  • You will wear a product hat as and when required and help in shaping the product.
  • You will provide technical mentorship to other engineers in the team and will lead a team of junior engineers.
  • You should be able to deal with ambiguity, have strong bias towards action, ability to deep dive whenever required and quickly deliver to unblock the team

Preferred experience and competencies

  • You are a software engineer with 4+ years of industry experience.
  • Professional experience with at least one web dev framework (ReactJS or Django/Python)
  • Professional experience with one or more (SQL or NoSQL) databases.
  • A stint in a product company or a startup or any similar faced paced environment is preferable.
  • Experience working with cloud infra providers (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure etc.) is preferable.
  • Strong proficiency in REST API
