Instructure - Chicago, IL &amp; Salt Lake City, UT - Software Developer
About Instructure: We make software that makes people smarter, including Canvas (<a href="), an open source learning management system used by universities and K-12 schools, and Bridge, a corporate learning platform (<a href=").
What we're looking for:
- Front-end developers with experience developing single-page web apps, iOS and Android apps, and/or beautiful administration apps with modern web technology.
- Back-end developers with experience building web scale services in a loosely coupled but highly integrated system.
- We are a mixed stack and polyglot team with a deep commitment to quality and to using the right tech for each problem we solve. Tech includes Ruby (Rails), React, Node, and Postgres running on AWS.
My personal opinions on why I like working here:
- Rails at scale is a fun challenge (~1400 universities and/or school districts and often over 200k concurrent users)
- Strong engineering culture. We were founded and are still run by technologists which has a positive impact (open source commitment, addressing tech debt, quarterly hackathons, general openness)
