Gradescope - https://gradescope.com Berkeley, CA | on-site only

Learning has been assessed in the same way for decades: instructors give out paper-based assignments, tediously grade them by hand, and return them to students. With this process, instructors gain little insight into their students’ knowledge. Simply measuring the frequency of a specific mistake requires painstaking tallying. Answering the question “What concepts are my students struggling with?” is practically impossible.

Gradescope lets instructors give out the same paper-based assignments, but then grade them online, while keeping track of the exact mistakes made by every student on every question. This enables unprecedented data analytics: for example, we can reveal which concepts a student needs help with, or which questions are too difficult. To top it off, instructors get grading done in half the time.

Our product has been used to grade over 3 million pages of work belonging to over 30,000 students. We’ve raised a seed round, and are making our first full-time hires to join the founding team of two PhDs and professor from Berkeley CS. Over the next few months, we’re looking to expand our user base tenfold, and roll out advanced features including autograding, analytics, and more. We offer market-rate salary with generous equity.

We’re currently hiring for two positions: Full-stack Engineer UI/UX Designer

This post isn't from the normal whoishiring account. Somebody's doing something fishy. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9471287 posted by 30 day old account https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=_whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9471043 posted by 1 hour old account https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=__whoishiring The normal whoishiring account https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring

Definitely nothing fishy in this case. The original whoishiring has been distracted lately, and _whoishiring stepped in to help. It actually made a big difference today.

It also, however, made us realize that it's about time (after what, 6 years maybe) that we wrote the small amount of code to just automate this so people don't have to wonder where the threads are.
