Job Description

Are you interested in languages, education, and technology and want to work in one of the world's fastest-growing EdTech startups? Then join us and be part of an ambitious and talented team that revolutionizes how we learn languages.

About us

Busuu is the best way to learn a language. We are the world's largest language learning community with over 100 million users in 190 countries, growing at up to 30,000 new users per day. We empower our users to achieve their language learning goals by combining AI-powered courses with instant feedback from our global community of native speakers and live tutoring from qualified teachers across the world.

We are a profitable, fast-growing tech startup with over 120 employees and offices in Madrid and London. We have been backed by leading institutional investors and entrepreneurs (PROFounders Capital, McGraw-Hill Education, GP Bullhound, Martin Varsavsky, Brent Hoberman, etc) and have been named as ‘Best EdTech Startup’ in Europe by TechCrunch.

Working at this scale is not always an easy task, and we know that there are challenges ahead, so we are looking for someone who wants to become a better version of themself and master the challenge together with us. We want to grow not only into new markets, but also with new features and tools for our social network.

We are looking for passionate people who honestly love solving problems, by questioning the status quo and are eager to build a legacy with Busuu.

As a Mid Fullstack Engineer we have great things to come into your area of responsibilities.

What can you expect working at Busuu Spain?

You will be based in our new Madrid Office, and have the opportunity to travel to our HQ in London for short-term visits when travel is safe.

We work in a colocated setup, meaning that we expect remote workers to join the team in their assigned office every then and now.

At Busuu we know that when we work hard we should find time to relax and have fun, this is why we encourage our members to join our quarterly team events, to build personal relationships with your peers.

Being a part of Busuu - How do things work:

We are acutely aware that we are in unprecedented times and like all companies we need to adapt to this in order to safeguard our Busuu community. In order to do this we are constantly reviewing the government guidelines and adapting accordingly to accommodate the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees. In the current global climate, some of our team events are virtual and some of our benefits have been amended.

At Busuu we want to ensure that you have access to some great benefits:

  • We have an amazing office which is available for you to work from if you would like to do so, this is completely optional at the moment in the current environment. If you would like to be in the office we have put in place lots of important social distancing practices to ensure you are safe to meet with your colleagues in person
  • The office is well-equipped with free breakfast, plenty of snacks, fresh fruit and free dinner of your choice if you need to stay late
  • Social interaction is really important to us so we have lots of remote activities for you to join into such as team events, socials, online weekly quiz, etc
  • There is a personal training budget just for you, so you can learn more in your field, attend virtual conferences and events that you find interesting
  • To keep you active and help your mindfulness we offer weekly virtual yoga sessions
  • Busuu offers a great private health insurance scheme
  • We like to support our teams with their work life balance so we offer flexible working hours
