BrightSprout: Software Development Tech Lead (Remote, Full-Time)

Are you a skilled developer looking to use your expertise in a small, collaborative team with a supportive environment?

About the Company and Sites

BrightSprout

is a suite of innovative, online tools that help teachers quickly and easily create classroom materials. Our close-knit team of nine helps hundreds of thousands of educators around the globe make activities like worksheets, crosswords, word searches, bingo sets, and flashcards.

About the Position

We’re searching for a Software Development Tech Lead to help us create the next generation of tools for teachers. This full-time (40 hours/week), long-term position, is the most senior member of the development team and is primarily responsible for the technical direction of the company.

You will be responsible for ensuring our system architecture across multiple codebases develops sustainably. In addition to your own development responsibilities (about 50% of the role), you will also achieve this through leading code reviews, coaching other developers, and working with the CEO to ensure our architecture is aligned to support our business needs.

The role also has a significant DevOps component. You will be responsible for maintaining our server setup (Digital Ocean), deployment scripts, and development environments, and for tracing anomalies found by our application monitoring (New Relic) to fixable code issues.

Salary Range

USD$110-120k

Work Culture

Get the autonomy of remote work alongside the benefits of small company culture––all while making significant contributions to a business that helps people. We’ve always been an all-remote company, and are committed to realizing the benefits of remote work.

Aside from our daily standups (3 PM UTC), you can work from anywhere in the world with a flexible schedule.

We enjoy our work because we like helping teachers and get excited to solve difficult challenges with creative code. There are no orders from on high and no one’s looking over your shoulder. Because we’re small, everyone has a voice as we work together to iterate the best solutions for our users. We like this approach and hope you do, too.

What You’ll Do

Technical Leadership:

Ensure new functionality is implemented with an eye to sustainable growth and code quality Provide technical expertise, coaching, and guidance to the development team, particularly in project kickoff and code review

Software Development

Build, test, and deploy inventive tools that let teachers create high-quality activities for students Solve the toughest code problems Ensure code is kept healthy: monitor, maintain, debug, update, test, optimize

Maintain our server setup, deployment scripts, and development environments Investigate system issues and address root causes

Communication

Ensure projects meet the needs of technical and non-technical stakeholders Communicate progress and track issues in Jira + Confluence Participate in daily stand-ups, weekly 1-on-1’s, and biweekly retrospectives

Here are some of them:

Use your skills to solve interesting problems. Be part of an honest, kind work environment with a supportive team Engage in work that actually helps people.
