Job Description

Learn to Win Senior Software Engineer

Learn to Win (L2W) is actively seeking senior software engineers to support our infrastructure, backend, and frontend systems.

About Learn to Win

Learn to Win ( democratizes curriculum creation by providing a suite of tools that enable anyone from any background to create lessons and quizzes with their own content. Research has long shown that active learning is more efficient than traditional methods, but some of our most essential leaders and students, from military leaders and football coaches to restaurant owners and HVAC repairmen, have been left out of these tech advancements in education. In hope of bridging the gap, a group of graduate students from Harvard and Stanford has teamed up with a group of engineers from Facebook and Tidepool Labs to deliver next-generation tools to facilitate remote training and the broader enablement of active learning.

About Learn to Win Engineering

We are currently a small team, so we focus on shipping only the highest value features, and iterating on them quickly. You'll be welcomed as a new member of a tight-knit team that loves to have fun. Members of the team previously worked at Facebook and Microsoft. Learn to Win is based in the Bay Area, but everyone currently works remotely - we plan to start leasing an office between San Francisco and Redwood City, contingent upon updated risks associated with COVID-19.

Our mobile client is written in React Native and the web client is written in React, using Redux-Saga with functional components (heavily using React Hooks). Our application server is written in PHP Laravel. All infrastructure is on AWS and we are in the process of migrating a good chunk of our services over to GovCloud for FedRAMP.
