[Hiring] Product Engineer @Zen Educate

Role Description

Hi, I’m Martin, Chief Technology Officer at Zen Educate and I’m looking for engineers who can make an impact on the real world problem of education staffing, and do it through engineering excellence.

• Valuing real world outcomes and shared learning over output
• Product thinking over pure tech - start with the problem, ship quickly and iterate
• Team success and sustainability over individual heroics

We are a small, but mighty team and so every engineer has the opportunity to make an outsized impact and put their stamp on what excellence looks like in practice. Today we have 25 Product Engineers working in small dynamic teams across the Zen product.

This role is particularly exciting because you’ll be one of Zen’s first Product Engineers in the US, where we’re enjoying rapid growth. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re someone who can build relationships quickly, take ownership of problems end-to-end and help grow a team around you.

Getting the right teacher into the right school at the right time is a crucial problem to solve, both for education outcomes for children and for the sustainability of an industry that spends billions on this.

Today the platform we are building supports:

• Internal operations teams on filling roles
• Educators on finding roles via our mobile app
• Schools on getting educators in for both short-term and long-term roles

The more we develop the platform, the more efficient the whole process becomes, which means more money going back to educators and into classrooms (over $65 million globally since 2017).

We are well established in the UK and growing at a phenomenal rate in the US.

Qualifications

• Curiosity, adaptability, and proactiveness
• Ability to build relationships quickly
• Ownership of problems end-to-end

Requirements

• Experience in engineering excellence
• Ability to work in a small team environment
• Focus on solving problems and helping others

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance available for full-time employees from day 1
• 401(k) retirement plan with no match after 6 months
• 20 Paid Vacation Days and 10 Paid Company Holidays
• Sick leave provided at or above your location requirements
• Equity compensation
• Paid bi-weekly
