TES is looking for Node.js software engineers to build and scale our quickly-growing education technology platform.
About Us
TES USA, based in San Francisco, encompasses Wikispaces, Blendspace, and TES Resources. We are part of TES Global, based in London, and together we serve over 6.7 million teachers, giving them the tools to be the very best that they can be.
We are a small, smart, fast-moving team, working on big web applications, where you’ll play a huge part in the success of our mission and our business. We don’t like big specifications or heavy planning processes; instead, we work on small projects, ship code frequently, and write tests. We’re built on a microservices architecture using Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, and Docker. Over 50 million unique visitors come to our sites every month. If you want to be challenged and rewarded for your success, have real impact, and want life to be free of meetings, office politics, and big-company boredom, drop us a line.
What you’ll do
There’s lots to do: designing and building new parts of our applications, working on our front-end javascript and AJAX, squeezing a few more requests/second out of our web heads, working on our replicated databases and file storage.
Who you are
You are fluent in Node.js, and you have personally built large, interesting, or complex web applications before, and can show us what you’ve done. You’re perfectly comfortable with both NoSQL like MongoDB, but also know how to work with relational databases like MySQL and know the ins-and-outs of writing and optimizing queries against large datasets for both. You know when it makes more sense to use Redis, Cassandra, or Hadoop to solve a problem. You can talk about a wide array of trade-offs facing web developers: use of frameworks vs. in-house code, what caching strategy to choose, how to select 3rd party libraries, what to do when table X hits 500 million rows. You’re not a platform zealot, but you think Linux is a fine choice as a server OS.
Above all, you love to build and ship products that real people will use every day.
How to apply
Please email us at career-node-2015@wikispaces.com with a copy of your resume as .doc, .pdf, .odt, or .rtf. In your email, please introduce yourself and, importantly, don’t just tell us why you want a job like this. Tell us why you want to work with us specifically.
