Playvation Ltd. is a Finnish EdTech company focusing on digital language learning solutions. Our flagship product Moomin Language School is offered to students around the world. We combine various fields of expertise and our team includes linguists, teachers and early educators, to name a few. Language skills are essential in the modern global world, yet millions of children lack access to high quality teaching and learning content. We are about to change this.
We are looking for a software developer to join us on working with our e-learning application for kids. We have already gotten some strong evidence that our application works, and we would like you to join us in the next step, which is transforming the codebase into something that can scale up to millions of users, meeting various boundary conditions along the way.
We have just recently finished our seed round of funding, and are transforming our engineering team from consultancy-based to an in-house team, led by our senior engineer Ville.
Your main focus would be full stack development encompassing our backend API as well supporting web apps (React + GraphQL + Node.js running on AWS). However, the whole engineering team owns all of the code, so you should be able to also help out (at least with code reviews) on our main product, our Unity-based mobile app as well as the content production system implemented with the Unity Editor (so, C# development).
This is a mid-to-senior position. You will not be working alone, but it is a small team so you should be comfortable with a higher level of responsibility and making crucial technical decisions!
Experience building and maintaining well-architected, testable code
Experience in web technologies
Experience with using cloud providers (AWS preferred)
Knowledgeable in working with Git, CI/CD
Curiosity to further educate yourself in new technologies
Fluent English skills (Finnish not required :D)
Extra credit for the following:
Unity experience
"Infrastructure as code" experience
And even if you don't tick many of these boxes, a good engineer is always a good engineer, just prove it to us somehow!
