Skool | Software Engineers (Go & React) | Full-Time | Remote

Product: Skool is a platform where course creators host their student communities and course content in 1-place, with 1-login, and 1-search. In the past, this was done with a Facebook Group, and a learning management system (LMS). Skool puts the two together and gamifies it so it's engaging and fun.

Company: We're a small team of 8 people, we've been building Skool for 2.5 years, we have a product people love, paying customers, we're profitable, well funded, and growing rapidly! We're remote by default, but we have a cool office in LA that we hangout at whenever we want.

Culture: We like to build things people love. We keep things casual, non-political, playful, and child-like. We've found creativity comes from a place of fun, collaboration, and friendship. We keep our processes minimal, systems simple, and communication casual.

Jobs: We hire talented people, pay above market salaries, give equity, full benefits, and the best tools. We've optimized our hiring process to be fast and painless. We can make you an offer within 7-days of application. We're currently looking for the following:

* Backend Engineer (Go) — https://jobs.lever.co/skool/b565adce-20be-454e-ab6f-95534062...

* Frontend Engineer (Next.js/React) — https://jobs.lever.co/skool/23263386-a2dd-4d31-af58-aae16074...

Skool | Software Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | Onsite | Full-time | https://www.skool.com

Join startup with a small team, good chemistry, unusual pay, and a bold mission to educate Earth.

It’s called Skool — We’re building a social learning network where people can join niche communities, learn things, solve problems, make friends, and have fun. We don’t see our platform as “the thing” . It's the thing that gets you to the thing — finding purpose and human connection in the real world.

We believe — education should be lifelong, fun, done with friends, personalized, accessible to everyone, and emerge naturally from p2p interactions, not static textbooks with a teacher in a room.

We're looking for talented software engineers to join our small self-organizing team based in Los Angeles, CA. We're looking for frontend React fanatics who love browsers.

Meet our team and learn more about the open position here — https://www.skool.com
