Literably is a fast-growing edtech company on a mission to develop every child into a proficient reader. Our flagship product is an online elementary reading assessment. Using our product, K-5 students read aloud and answer questions on a device (Chromebook, iPad, laptop, desktop), and Literably generates key data for reading instruction that would otherwise be collected manually. This saves teachers enormous amounts of time and drives critical intervention decisions for young readers. We currently serve over 500 schools, including several of America’s largest school districts.

Literably was recently acquired by Heggerty, a fast-growing education company that provides research-based literacy products to over half of U.S. school districts.

We are looking for a fantastic senior full-stack software engineer to join our small team delivering delightful and impactful experiences to teachers and students across the country.

We work with Python, Django, Typescript, React, Redis and Postgres, but specific experience with this stack is not required.

Prior experience in education is a plus.

Heggerty is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

We work with Python, Amazon Web Services, Pulumi, Docker, Git, Django, Redis, CircleCI, and Postgres. We receive huge volumes of noisy, often poorly-articulated audio data from young children in real classrooms every day. Using a combination of automated speech recognition and human transcription, our software converts this into clean, actionable information for elementary school teachers. Improving and scaling this assessment processing pipeline makes up the bulk of our engineering work.
