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 revolutionises how we learn languages.

About us

Busuu is one of the top EdTech companies in the world and has won numerous awards for its innovation and impact in language learning.

Busuu’s vision is to empower everyone in the world through languages. We are the world’s largest online community for language learning, with more than 120+ million users from 190 countries, growing at up to 20,000 new users per day. We make learning a language easy by combining AI-powered courses with instant feedback from our global community of native speakers and live tutoring from qualified teachers across the world.

In January 2022, Busuu was acquired by one of the largest EdTech companies in the world, Chegg (NYSE:CHGG). Being part of Chegg will help us to accelerate our growth and achieve our vision even faster.

If you are passionate about languages, want to work with smart, creative, energetic people, and possess the initiative, confidence, and good judgment to make independent decisions every day - then you are probably the perfect addition for our growing team.

What does a Senior Fullstack Engineer do at Busuu?

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer you will be working on a new and exciting initiative at Busuu. You will work on features from ideation, implementation, and release collaborating with all departments of the company. Once released to users your work will be seen by millions and from there you will measure, evaluate, and evolve what you just released. You will be writing TypeScript on the front-end with React, on the backend you will be working on Node.js in a high throughput environment.

The backend is structured as small microservices orchestrated by Kubernetes while the front is made using Next.js, composed out of small reusable and tested components. We use GraphQL to connect front and back. This allows us to move fast and independent of others' work and to test out new and exciting initiatives.

You will ship often (daily) without sacrificing the quality of code. You’ll feel confident about said quality through extensive use of automated testing. You’ll collaborate extensively with the other engineers on the team. We are a team of experienced developers that rely heavily on data to make decisions about where to go next. We strive to write simple and readable code while still developing highly scalable systems.
