Job description

About Us:

Hey there! Welcome to Classavo, the spunky EdTech startup that’s shaking up the education scene. “Democratizing access to education” might sound like a cliché but here, we actually mean it. We transform dusty old textbooks into fully interactive, customizable learning experiences that professors can tailor without any IP or copyright drama. And students? They love us. Why? Because we’ve made learning way more fun, affordable, and, dare we say, cool.

Best part? Students get access to everything for just $35 per semester. That’s right, all their classes. No more hundred-dollar textbooks collecting dust. We wish we had this when we were in school. That’s why we built it.

We’re a fast-growing team of creative thinkers, builders, and educators who want to make classrooms better around the world. And now, we’re looking to add a Full Stack Engineer to our dream team to help us scale our magic even further.

Role Overview:

As a Full Stack Engineer at Classavo, you’ll flex both sides of your brain, building seamless, user-friendly features on the front end and robust, scalable systems on the backend. You’ll be working closely with product, design, and fellow engineers to ship features that directly impact thousands of students and professors.

Knowledge of AWS, Docker, and other cloud deployment tools
Comfort with modern CI/CD practices and version control (Git is your friend)
Familiarity with performance tuning, caching strategies, and testing best practices
Ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced startup environment
Great communication skills and a good sense of humor (because why not?)
