At Instructure, we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their educations and careers. We do this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. And that's where you come in:

We’re hiring senior front-end engineers for our Seattle office, who are passionate about technology and education, to help build out the front-end of our online video platform, Canvas Studio for interactive learning.

Our product team doesn't throw specs over some imaginary wall to engineering, and engineering doesn't throw code over some imaginary wall to QA. We all collaborate together. We highly value innovation, so much so that we have quarterly Hackweeks. A week each quarter to work on relevant pet projects and features. Woohoo!

Most of our work is open source, even our primary product (Canvas). Check us out on Github: www.github.com/instructure.

Our Seattle office is located in the Pacific Building, 720 3rd Avenue.

What We Do:

• We’re building innovative web applications. By leveraging single page application design, ES6, CSS3, and other cutting edge technologies, we hope to bring the richness of native desktop and mobile apps to the web.
• We use the latest tools to support progressive browsers and companies: you can leave your IE6 hacks at home.
• We are cloud native. For this job, that means bringing the fault-tolerant and high availability principles that power the cloud to the front-end to deliver lightning fast, ultra-reliable applications that delight our users.

What We Look For:

• Breadth of experience across languages and frameworks.
• Deep knowledge of JavaScript, including the latest features in ES6.
• Production experience with modern JS frameworks like React.
• Demonstrated experience unit testing JavaScript applications to ensure application quality.
• Capable communicators passionate about product development and user experience.
• Autodidacts who love continual learning and exploration.
• Engineering leaders who care about coding standards and writing lean, maintainable software.
• 5+ plus years of professional software development experience.
• BS or greater in Computer Science preferred.
