Instructure was founded to define, develop, and deploy superior, easy-to-use tools for teaching and learning. Our goal is simple; create more effective ways for everyone everywhere to access education, make discoveries, share knowledge, be inspired, and do big things. We accomplish all this by giving smart, creative, passionate people opportunities to create awesome. So here’s your opportunity.

We’re hiring engineers at different levels who are passionate about technology and education, to help build a new product delivering the next generation of observability & decision-making for Canvas administrators.

Culturally our team will look and feel very much like a highly collaborative start-up. We value innovation, so much so that we have quarterly Hackweeks; a week each quarter to work on relevant pet projects and features.

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 downtown in the Westlake Center, 1601 5th Avenue.
