Abl Schools|Sr. Ruby Engineer|San Francisco|Full-time |ONSITE|www.ablschools.com

Technology has made the world more connected, fundamentally changing how we live, work and interact; yet traditional schools have not evolved to prepare students for the 21st century.

That’s why we’re building a web-based school scheduling platform, that allows administrators to put master schedules and daily calendars into a single cloud-based system. We are creating the next generation of software for all K12 schools to fundamentally change how they design, measure and improve their schools. We are also a company that deeply values diversity in every way. To learn more about Abl click here: https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2018/01/10/a-silicon-vall...

RaiseMe | Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, Full-time

RaiseMe is expanding access to higher education by reinventing how students earn scholarship dollars from colleges. Our platform allows colleges and universities to award incremental "micro-scholarships" to high school (and soon, community college) students, based on academic, testing, extracurricular, and real-world experience. We've over 250 college partners, and users in 1 of 2 high schools in the US. Many of our students earn tens-of-thousands of dollars for college. The coolest part of our platform is how it educates students about the possibility of college in the first place. Many of our users are first-generation college attendees, or minority or low-income students.

Here's a recent VICE Impact article about us: https://impact.vice.com/en_us/article/ne3yvm/students-earned...

If you're an engineer looking to work with other smart and passionate individuals on the mission of helping all high school students achieve their college ambitions, get in touch!

Tech stack: Ruby/Rails, React/Redux frontend, MongoDB/Postgres/Redshift, with some small things in Go, Python, and Node.
