Don't want to build technology designed to addict or exploit?

Join a collaborative, mission-driven, non-profit software team aiming to make a difference through education. (And build some really cool software with us!)

How We Work

The following values are straight from our employee manual. We like to say they are both descriptive (this is how we currently work) and aspirational (this is who we want to be). If this sounds like you, apply to volunteer or work with us!

Prioritize the Person

We believe in the dignity and unique potential of every person. We respect and care for every person on an individual level, striving for the success of every student, teacher, content developer, external collaborator, and staff member we connect with.

Insist on Integrity

We take responsibility for our work, not blaming others. We value ownership in everything we do, and we tell the truth. Relationships thrive in a culture of honesty.

Collaborate Constructively

It’s easy to tear things down. It’s hard to build them up. We build! We have strong opinions, but we hold them loosely. We don’t get our self worth from our ideas. We subject our ideas to the constructive criticism of the team. This is how we build better together than we do on our own.

Innovate through Iteration

Build it first, then make it better. We constrain our innovation to the next achievable step. We take into account the realities of today and seek to build on top of them. We believe this is the best way to gain momentum.

Learning as a Lifestyle

We are learners, on a mission to help other learners. We often don’t know what we don’t know! Therefore, we maintain a posture of curious humility: always asking, always seeking, always learning.

Things We SayTranslation
Make good thing. Help kids learn.What we are doing matters. See our constitution, mission, values, goals.
Slow is stable, stable is fast.Rushing to deploy builds technical debt which ultimately slows us down.
If you see something, say something.Everyone on the team is responsible for the quality of the product.
If you aren’t sure, ask.It’s ok to not know the answer to everything. We help each other grow and learn.
Put the thing through the thing.We have systems because they keep us honest and bring consistent performance. Use them!
Build it first, then make it better.Act! Start! Put it out there! You often don’t know what you should build until you start making it. And don’t leave it unfinished. Continually improve it.

Software Project Management

We use a common sense mix of the best project management methodologies:

  • We have a waterfall-style roadmap where we try to develop features in a strategic order to minimize redevelopment.
  • We have agile-ish 2-week “sprints” that keep us in a good cadence, while not adopting Agile religiously. (We have a lot of the same meetings, but sometimes have different focuses than developers using Agile might be used to.)
  • We schedule our features into sprints using “Kanban”-ish methodology to ensure consistent flow of releases.

Meet the Team

We have fun, enjoy each other, and work hard — because we know it matters.
