Description

About CoreSpring:
CoreSpring.org is a non-profit company whose mission is to put good content, and state-of-the-art technology into the hands of teachers and product developers. We create web-based components and products to help teachers to deliver computer-based Formative assessments in their classrooms.

We are Looking For:
A full-time front-end engineer to join our team and help develop new html standards-based student interactions for teacher-driven quizzes in the classroom or at home, on computers and tablets.

We have a small, flexible, skilled team and want to find someone who is a good fit for how we work: Someone who is creative but pragmatic in their approach to software solution design. Someone who works well with a team, but is also happy working independently on a project if needed. Someone who believes in test-driven development, and who we can rely on to produce high-quality, clean and effective code, and help keep the rest of us diligent about doing the same.

The developer should be
  • proficient in Javascript, HTML, CSS and tools and frameworks for client-side development
  • knowledgable of and an advocate for good software design, development and test practices for client side development
  • willing to do some light work with and be interested in the server-side aspect of our system (Scala, Play Framework & Mongo DB)


  • Please provide link to portfolio, github (or similar) when responding if available.

    Work Environment:
    We are a small company, and have a small development team (5-6 engineers) with a most of the engineering team working remotely.

    It is a very interesting and meaningful project, exploring the boundaries of what's possible with the latest developments in browsers, and providing engaging experiences for students as they learn.

    It is a fun team to work with, with a flat organization structure. All developers get to work on all parts of the system, and all developers get input into technical / architectural decisions.

    We maintain a sane working environment and measure success in results delivered, not hours worked.

    We Use:
  • Server Side: Scala, Play framework, Heroku, MongoDb/Mongolab, Jenkins CI
  • Client Side: AngularJS, bower, less, npm, grunt, jasmine, phantomjs
  • Collaboration: Hipchat, JIRA, Confluence, Google Hangouts, Join.me
  • Start date
    ASAP
