Python. Django Rest Framework experience would be great, but not essential! We prioritise
quality over quantity.
Postgres with InfluxDB, Oracle, MySQL and Redis experience a plus.
Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenShift and associated tooling.
AWS, especially ECS, Lambda, RDS and DynamoDB. Performance and uptime are super
important to us.

We have SDKs in a bunch of languages, so the more polyglot you are the better.
If you like writing JS and React that would be awesome too.


subjective homework by choosing from a question bank. It also gamifies
homework for students.
It helps teachers evaluate homework/assignments 10x faster and captures
100x more data points than any other existing system.
While the app automates the teacher’s job, it fundamentally disrupts education by
replacing marks/grades with data-driven analysis. It is a free mobile homework app.
