As a Software Engineer at Mentava, you'll build a learn-to-read app for 2- and 3-year-olds, improving upon an existing MVP.  Responsibilities include re-imagining the future of education, building engaging learning games, optimizing application performance, collaborating with the founding team, and defining core software development values.  You'll work on a product with a significant impact on children's education and Mentava's success.  The role requires comfort with challenging problems, a willingness to learn quickly, and participation in the company's hiring process.  You should be passionate about gifted education, rapid iteration, and user experience.

That’s about 30 mins a day(!) over 3 months(!) to cover what would take multiple years in school. And that accelerated pace of learning compounds: a child who can learn 2 years of content in a year should be a year ahead after kindergarten, 2 years ahead after 1st grade, 3 years ahead after 2nd grade…We fully expect our students to complete college-level math and programming before high school.Education creates pathways to success for kids of every socioeconomic class. When we encourage learning and achievement, we improve our society and our communities.
