Scratch | Senior Backend Engineer | Cambridge, MA | Full-time | On-site
We are seeking a curious and enthusiastic software engineer to join our Scratch team at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) is a free visual programming language and global online community where children can create and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animations.
Here at the Lifelong Kindergarten research group (MIT Media Lab), we are passionate about creating technology that enables kids to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically. We’re looking for engineers who enjoy collaborating as much as coding and who thrive in an environment of continual iteration and improvement. Located in the MIT Media Lab, the Scratch team works amid a giant pit of LEGO bricks – so a love for creative making (and tolerance for a bit of a mess) is a must!

* Node.js
* Redis
* Elastic Search
* Percona MySQL
