The Project:

You will be working on one of our most exciting and innovative Big Data-projects: Metacog. Its mission is to unleash experiential learning to improve learning products around the world with our real time big data platform. Metacog will power digital course materials that dynamically understand the emerging path patterns a student is taking in order to provide real-time feedback and individualize the experience for learners.

Metacog is a data platform with a series of APIs that enable anyone building products for learning to integrate these advanced data science driven capabilities into their offerings.

If you’ve ever used a web API and wondered why the developers didn’t “get” folks like you, this is your chance to show how it should be done!

The Role:

We need an expert in client-side technologies who will make the Metacog learning analytics API easy to use across a wide range of client-side stacks. You will be part of a global team and most of the time your communication will be in English, so we expect a High English level.

The following technologies are daily used within the company: JavaScript, Git,  Gulp, Grunt, Aws-cli,  Less, d3, Backbone, AngujarJS, JQuery, RESTful. So, having a general knowledge of them will help you to get your tasks done easily and efficiently, but not worries we'll support you while learning the ones that are not familiar to you.  

It will be nice if you have worked before with the following technologies Unity3D (C#), IndexedDB, WebWorkers, Node.js as we could eventually need to work or solve problems that involved the use of them.

A normal day within the company you could be building a library (that use web APIs) - we currently support HTML5/JavaScript and Unity3d, but strive to make them better and easier-to-use as we add capabilities. Or well, automating testing and deployment of all client-side deliverables.

As we have an API for developers, you will support the client side dev community with quality examples and docs (both method-by-method as well as tutorial/how-to)

Our Office is close to the poblado train station, so you can easily get here by public transport.  You will work from 7:30 to 17:30 from Monday to Friday and there's 1 hour lunch break. You'll get a full time job with a competitive salary and a long term contract.
