About the Role

Are you driven by quality? Do you like tackling juicy technical challenges? Our team is responsible for supporting a portfolio of subscription apps used by millions of children every month. Our apps feature award-winning, high-quality content that engages creative play and exploration.

The Quest: 

• Play a senior role on the team coaching other developers and working closely with the product manager and the rest of the team to meet ambitious milestones.

• Iterate quickly, and write clear and reusable code.
• A degree in computer science/engineering or a resume full of practical experience.
