Company mission

Edpuzzle's mission is to help teachers engage their students through the power of video learning.

Role

Who you are

  • The right person will help us create the best possible product for teachers and empower them to engage their students with videos
  • If you’re a self-starter who’s eager to contribute to the education sector, you’ll feel right at home with us
  • At least 4 of years professional experience in frontend, backend, or full-stack development
  • Experience writing well-tested JavaScript code
  • You are a Full Stack Developer with experience with at least one frontend framework (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) and experience with Node.js
  • If you are not Full Stack, then you want to become Full Stack and you currently have strong experience in either frontend writing complex interactive UIs, or in backend writing high traffic servers in Node.js
  • Experience with testing
  • Excellent ability to communicate your ideas, regardless of the audience
  • Pragmatic with technologies: you understand tech is a tool to solve a product problem, tech is never the end goal
  • Product-oriented: you make all your technology decisions with the final user in mind
  • You are naturally drawn towards understanding the bigger picture and recognize when there's a need for improvement, applying your intentional and rational thought process to address complex issues
  • You are able to work independently, plan and exercise conscious control of time spent on specific goals to reach deadlines effectively, and you don’t hesitate to pursue a goal despite the difficulties, all while maintaining a flexible mindset
  • You feel comfortable in spoken Spanish and written English, as they are the main language of our Engineers’ day-to-day operations
  • You are based in Spain and have a work permit to work in Spain

Desirable

  • Experience with Redux for client state management
  • Experience with Express.js and MongoDB
  • Experience with complex backend architectures such as Hexagonal Architecture and Domain Driven Design (DDD)
  • … or another amazing skill you bring to the table that we haven’t thought of yet!

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for our next Software Engineer to join our Product Team in Spain
  • As a Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for working on all front-end, mobile and back-end sides of our software
  • You will participate in the design, creation, and maintenance of features, writing clean, functional, testable, and scalable code as well as fixing bugs or other coding issues
  • You will also continuously learn with the aim to be able to work on problems with increasing complexity, including the possibility of starting to lead projects with technical complexity, product complexity, or both
  • Technically speaking, we use React and Redux for our frontend and Node and Express applying DDD and hexagonal architecture in the backend
  • We use MongoDB for our database and are fully hosted on AWS which we also use to store, encode and stream our own pool of videos
  • We work with testing, trunk based development, CI/CD, and follow best practices making sure we never compromise on code quality and reliability
  • We are a product-focused team
  • Our methodologies foster close partnerships between Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, and other key areas (Design, Data, QA, Security, etc.). Everyone is encouraged to share their ideas and opinions, take initiative, and be resourceful when coming up with creative solutions that elevate the experience for our users
  • Our Engineering team is organized around cross-functional and rotational full-stack projects, with teams of 3 to 5 Engineers on each project providing diverse perspectives and skills
  • At the end of the year, an Engineer will have typically contributed to 3 to 4 different projects in order to gain exposure to different aspects of our product and have a holistic development approach
  • At our core is an environment where every voice is heard and valued, and each team member plays a role in shaping project strategy and designing technical solutions
  • We embrace proactiveness and curiosity to understand the bigger picture
  • Engineers are not just encouraged but expected to think critically, propose solutions, and take ownership
  • We’ve built a culture where ideas are shared openly, challenges are tackled head-on, and assumptions are questioned to drive continuous improvement
  • Work with the Product and Engineering teams to find the best technical solutions by participating in discussions and sharing your opinions
  • Take ownership of the problems that are being worked on, understanding why they are needed by the users, carrying out your own research, making your own proposals and working on the implementation while relying on your teammates for help when needed
  • Communicate effectively in a team in order to maximize productivity, ownership, and focus to help projects reach the finish line with the best possible outcome and by the project deadline
  • Develop pixel perfect designs following the indications of the Design team
  • Develop simple, clear, functioning, and testable code
  • Take an active role in learning the different parts of Edpuzzle’s software and understanding why it is built the way it is, while relying on more experienced teammates for help when needed
  • Troubleshoot, debug and upgrade software
  • Write technical documentation
  • Perform other duties as assigned

Our take

Edpuzzle is at the apex of two major trends: the digitalization of education in schools and the growing importance of video content for young people. The startup was born out of the realisation that while video is crucial to learning in the modern classroom, traditional video editing tools were inaccessible and inefficient for teachers. This software changes all of that with easy-to-use functions like voice-overs and assessments.

The aim for Edpuzzle now is to position itself as the leading video platform for education, delivering better content, connecting teachers to share resources, and translating content into multiple languages. The Spanish platform has now taken off in the US, being consistently used by at least one teacher in 80% of schools - in fact, it has a global reach of over 150 countries.

Edpuzzle is being smart about succeeding where other EdTech companies have failed. By making its services accessible and easily integrated into well-known products like YouTube, it is well positioned to insert itself into the rapidly changing landscape of digitally enabled education.
