Well, hello there

Our primary focus is on the K-12 education sector in the United States and we are critical in helping scale a teacher and improve student outcomes all while being an easy to use solution. Screencastify is used by over 15M people and is seeking a dynamic and results-oriented Senior Software Engineer to join our Squad

Working at Screencastify

At Screencastify, we are results focused and here to improve education globally. This isn't an easy feat but it is important for our future. We value accountability, commitment, and speed. We take our responsibility to our customers very seriously, so when we miss a deadline or slow down, it matters.

We're a competitive culture and strive for speed and innovation. We are problem solvers, don't point fingers and rather enjoy working together to bring solutions to the forefront.

We love a challenge and pushing the world forward with creativity, ingenuity and out of the box thinking. People are everything and we want to work in a company of deeply good people who treat their colleagues exceptionally well. Rule #1: Be a good person.

About the role

We built the simplest and most reliable screen recorder in the world, but that's only the beginning. Our near future is full of ambitious new goals, features, and products that will enable us to further improve how we provide service to our users and accelerate our already fast growth.

We prioritize fast iteration without compromising quality while maintaining attention to detail that creates the kind of delightful interactions we're known for. We're looking for an experienced, energetic, and thoughtful Senior Software Engineer to build effective tools for video communication.

Why is this role special?

  1. Tackle our most interesting and impactful problems. Our team is still small, and people wear many hats. You'd jump between product, marketing, internal tools, and design — participating in every phase from inception to implementation. Absolutely no boredom.
  2. Work with an extremely talented team. Our team has built a product used by millions of people. We focus on solving problems that matter and putting product quality above all else.
  3. Join us at a magical time. We're profitable and support tens of millions of users with a small team, which gives us a huge green field to work with. You'll join at the perfect time to shape how we grow from here.

What you'll do:

  • Collaborate with our Product and Engineering teams to design, develop, test, and ship features.
  • Build new product features from start to finish: through conception, research, maintenance, and polish.
  • Own and design changes to full system codebase while assisting with changing and documenting architecture and data flows.
  • Research and create proofs of concepts and introduce new technologies to the team.
  • Mentor others to accelerate their career-growth.
  • Help define platform capabilities and implement core solutions using solid design principles, balancing complexity, speed of implementation, reliability, and expandability.
  • Diagnose and improve the quality of our end-to-end video experience.
  • Build and maintain a developer toolchain / environment that helps our engineers work efficiently.
  • Evaluate and configure production systems including deployment, autoscaling, logging and monitoring.

Requirements

You're perfect for this role if you:

  • Have a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field.
  • Have 5+ years building and maintaining quality user interfaces that have reached a large audience, ideally while the product is experiencing rapid growth.
  • Have experience developing end-to-end application software development, including front end, back end, UI, and UX; we use TypeScript, React, and
  • Have relational database familiarity technologies with SQL.
  • Have experience with cloud platforms such as AWS/Google Cloud Platform.
  • Have configured deployments, autoscaling, logging and monitoring in production environments.
  • Can readily learn most technologies as you go.
  • Care about the business implications of anything you build. You're not just going after cool stuff — you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
  • Are flexible, dedicated, and curious.

This is a Chicago-based hybrid position with 3 days a week in the office.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation. We take a data-driven approach to our compensation strategy so all employees are paid competitively and fairly.
  • 401k & Profit Sharing plan. We want to invest in present you and future you, which is why we offer a generous 401k match + Profit Sharing plan.
  • Flexible time off (FTO) policy. We recognize that time off to rest and recharge is important. The Flexible Time Off Policy (FTO) is designed for our employees to do just that -- balance work and life while maintaining well-being.
  • Parental leave. Generous paid time off for parents to bond with the newest addition to their family
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance. We cover 100% of employee medical premiums and 50% of employee dental & vision premiums. Plus, all employees receive a free One Medical membership.
  • Divvy bike membership. If you're in Chicago, take advantage of an annual Divvy membership -- on us.
