Clever (YC S12) - San Francisco - onsite

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after five years, half of all schools in the US (68,000 schools) are using our platform. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things:

-a single place where schools can easily integrate, manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and

-a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of just over 100 (~40 engineers) based in downtown SF, and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy working in (or would enjoy learning) Golang, Node and React. More generally, we want people who are sharp, adaptable, and passionate about improving the way education works for everyone.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No offense intended, but isn't that a huge salary for a startup? Your burn rate must be massive!

We’re one year in the market and already profitable. Believe it or not, many engineers are earning much bigger salaries in financial companies, and our software has similar security and reliability requirements as a financial app. These are our first hires. We want the best we can afford.

If you've been on the market for a year and are already profitable why are you still in stealth mode?

ACA Projects | Front-end developer | Brisbane / Sydney, Australia (Onsite)

ACA are a fast-paced team of developers and designers based in Sydney and Brisbane, Australia. We build open systems for modern, connected environments.

For those who don't speak marketing bullshit: we build systems which cover 'smart workplace apps' (people finding, room booking), room / environment automation to event space control (audio mixing, lighting, video distribution etc). Our projects revolve around wrapping everything in the physical environment which has an API (or some way to interact with it) into a nice, cohesive UX for users and then providing simple management and analytics for teams who look after installed tech.

In addition to what you'll find on our site (https://www.acaprojects.com/), you can see a quick video here: https://youtu.be/99DTmflCdw4 (complete with cheesy feelgood music) that showcases some of what we've enabled across PwC's new workplaces. Where there has traditionally been proprietary, hardware based systems and solutions designed for vendor lock-in, we replace these with a modern, open source software stack (https://github.com/acaprojects).

---

We are searching for another front-end developer to help us build these things. You will need to be familiar with TypeScript, Angular2 and collaborating with other humans. You will be joining a team that's a mix of full stack as well as front-end only devs and designers.

---

Our Brisbane presence is based out of Little Tokyo Two (The Capitol) which you'll find in the middle of the city and has fast, symmetric internet, showers and bike racks, beer on tap, and tolerable colleges. The Sydney team work from a nice open space above a gallery in Chippendale that's flanked by good coffee and slightly above average bars.

To find out more, or get in touch, hit me up via kim@acaprojects.com.
