REDWOOD CITY, CA NO REMOTE, BUT WE DO OFFER RELOCATION AND VISA SPONSORSHIP

tl;dr - We’re profitable, pride ourselves on a supportive company culture, and supportive, and we need more engineers. EdTech.

Course Hero is looking for a software engineer (web or iOS) who can hit the ground running.

Our team releases code every day to millions of people, so we're looking for someone who can take on challenges, build new features, and iterate quickly. Each engineer has a role in building Course Hero's architecture and will have the opportunity to touch all parts of the stack. Our projects are big -- terabytes of data and customers around the world -- but our team is small, so you’ll see projects from start to finish, working closely with product managers and designers to ensure successful results.

Our company culture is very open, flat, and transparent. We succeed and learn together. Our office is very comfortable, has a lot of natural light, and great amenities like a gym and walking trails onsite. We’ve tried hard to make this a pleasant and inspiring place to do creative work.

Most importantly, we seek to hire individuals whose personality, integrity and passion for our business make our team better as a whole. We’re growing fast, profitable (yes, it’s true!), and looking for another core team member to push us toward the future.

For mobile, we’re focused on iOS for now. Our web stack is LAMP (PHP) + jQuery and AngularJS, but we’re open to people with all kinds of experience.
