At the end of the day, we know that our services will be a reflection of our company culture so we continuously work towards providing the best culture possible for our team. We have a remote first culture so lots of slack, google meet and communication with people who love flexibility but still want to be part of a team. You would come to London for a couple of weeks first to get to know everyone and then meet at our retreats ( Company and Dev)

Helping us a build a platform that scales globally, is used by millions daily and delivers terabytes of information to students everywhere – Think Spotify for Textbooks, you can imagine the engineering challeges we face both at the front end of UX, but especially at our backend, major API integrations, performance, security, resilience, you will be working on it.

  • You have worked with various ORM packages and have a strong understanding of SQL
  • You have worked with cloud services specifically with AWS
  • You have worked with project management tools such as JIRA

  • You have knowledge or working experience with the Express framework
  • You have worked with AWS Lambda functions as well as other services such as SNS, SQS, and S3
  • You have experience with integrating 3rd party services


While we are happy with remote, our preference is people within the GMT+-3 time zones, or US time zones +-2.


What is in it for you


You would receive a competitive salary, with many benefits such as medical insurance, stock options, travel card, and more. To promote a healthy work-life balance, we offer generous paid time-off and remote working opportunities. We believe in cultivating a fun, energetic, well-nourished team culture! At our office, we enjoy free top-shelf coffee, healthy snacks, birthday cakes, social and team sporting events, as well as offsite retreats. Best of all you would be part of our great team of people.


Our Application process


A quick call with our talent lead, design task and review with the team and then a full interview with our engineering team, company board leadership and then hopefully an offer and onboarding.
