NOW HIRING: Senior Full-Stack Developer

Company: Wordwall

Website: https://wordwall.net

Headquarters: Liverpool, England, United Kingdom

We looking for a senior developer who excels in working full-stack, but can bring their distinctive skills to our team, whether that's someone who loves writing tests or has a flair for game or UX design. Whatever you do, we need you to have top-notch JScript and C#.

Our mission is to make it easy for teachers to create interactive games and worksheets for their students. Our site automates the process of resource design, so teachers can simply enter the content that is appropriate for their class – a list of keywords, definitions, questions or images. Wordwall produces the content in over 60 different templates; for example, gameshow quizzes, crosswords, labelled diagrams and arcade games. It seeks to disrupt the publisher-driven model of paid-for “professionally” made educational content, by putting high-quality content creation in the hands of teachers and making that teacher-made content, freely accessible through our online community.

We are a small team with big ambitions, who work remotely across the world. Our 15 million monthly users are rapidly proliferating. We’ve got a product that works and we’re building for the long-term. We want people who want to stick around, grow with us and help make games-based learning accessible to all.

Technologies we use: HTML5, CSS, Javascript, Canvas API, WebAudio API, C#, ASP.NET MVC, MS-SQL, Azure, Selenium, TeamCity CD

We are an equal opportunities employer. We support flexible working arrangements - full or part time.

Real applicants only - please do not contact us if you represent an agency.
