Stile Education Hiring for Software Engineer – Expression of Interest Job at Melbourne, Australia Full Time

At Stile Education, we help teachers bring their science classes to life with resources based on real-world science and global issues.

At the most basic level, our aim is to get kids thinking again. Thinking critically about the world around them, and making evidence-based decisions for themselves and their community. It’s definitely worth a look at why we do what we do.

Stile is used in 1 in 3 Australian secondary schools. Over 400,000 students and 8,000 teachers around the country (and increasingly worldwide) use Stile and we expect this to more than double in the next couple of years in line with our international expansion strategy. That’s quite some reach, and it’s a responsibility we take extremely seriously.

Our platform is held in high esteem in schools, but we’re busting to ship new features that will meaningfully help teachers support their students, far beyond anything they can do with classroom technology today. To realise this, we are scaling our engineering organisation.

Sound interesting?

• a mission that drives our company, and a strong sense of ethics in everything we do.
• a highly-motivated and talented team with many experienced engineers.
• enormous respect for our employees’ work-life balance which is reflected in our parental leave policy, individual flexibility and sustainable project pace.
• a genuine commitment to the professional development of each engineer through training, coaching, regular feedback and increasing responsibilities.
• a large base of real customers, which is growing rapidly as we expand overseas.
• a near-continuous release cadence, involvement of engineers in the design process, and a willingness to take calculated risks.
• a modern tech stack. AWS. Terraform. Rust for tooling. CI on Buildkite. An API written in Ruby and Sorbet (not Rails), with a frontend in React and Typescript, glued together with Protobuf interfaces.
