RESTless?

Steve Jobs considered K-12 education the final frontier untouched by modern technology. It's time for that to change. The problem: Schools today run on legacy infrastructure that is nearly impossible for hackers to build software for. We're on a mission to replace the terrible things that developers have to do today (think nightly CSV FTP transfers) with APIs that feel more like Facebook's or Stripe's. E.g. https://getclever.com/developers/docs/ Clever is a team of 10 in San Francisco. When we started a year ago, 4 schools used Clever. Today, Clever is used by 5,000 schools, making it the fastest-growing company in education. We're looking for talented hackers who want to help us build Clever into something every school, student, and teacher relies on. A sampling of the tools we work with daily: - Javascript (Node, Backbone) - Python (Fabric, Salt, Buildbot) - mongoDB - Gearman - Logstash - AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, R53, SES) Tools we're experimenting with as we scale: - Go - Postgres - Riemann - Angular What Clever offers: - Challenging problems in architecting and scaling a developer platform and school-facing product - Significant equity stake in a well-funded company - Flat and close-knit engineering team - Beautiful office with absurd natural light - Great benefits: healthcare, dental, unlimited Amazon budget, free lunch, etc. Sound interesting? Take a look at our sandbox API and see if you can figure out the average number of students per section: https://getclever.com/developers/docs/ <jobs+engineer@getclever.com>
