THE COMPANY
Outschool's mission is to inspire kids to love learning. We believe the best way to do that is by linking learning to kids’ interests, connecting them with others who share those interests, and giving them the autonomy to pick their own path. We provide small group classes that meet over live video chat where learners are connected with teachers and classmates who share their interests. These classes are offered through our marketplace and conducted on our remote learning platform.
We're an experienced team with past accomplishments at Airbnb, Square, Apple, Uber, Udemy, Amazon, Wikipedia, Google, and many startups. Outschool’s team came together because we wanted to make a difference in education and saw the opportunity to empower learners, teachers, and parents. We value lifelong learners from all perspectives and walks of life, and we hold bringing others in as a core value of our company. We are committed to building a team that can bring a variety of both life and professional experiences to their role.
Now, in the face of mass school closures, our product and expertise have become central to many more families and organizations than ever before. We're committed to access and impact so we founded outschool.org to offer financial assistance to families in need.
THE ROLE
As Outschool has grown, so has our need to take advantage of data to facilitate product execution. We are creating a new Data focus area within our larger Infrastructure team. We are looking for an experienced engineer with a solid understanding of building data pipelines for analytics and machine learning.
In the Infrastructure team, every engineer works full-stack. While this role emphasis is on data, you would likely collaborate in other projects and use TypeScript, SQL, and Python on the same day to do your job. Scala/ Spark might come into the picture soon, so you should feel at ease in scripting and compiled languages. We value highly the ability to communicate asynchronously, teach others, and willingness to write documentation.
