The Adaptive Learning(ALE) team has an opening for a Senior Java Engineer.

Since not every student learns the same way and at the same rate, we build systems that makes studying more efficient and more effective for every student. Adaptive learning works by assessing student performance and activity in real time. Then, using data and analytics, it personalizes content to reinforce concepts that target each student's particular strengths and weaknesses. Our systems are cutting edge, REST/GraphQL based services (in Spring boot), written in Java and Scala that utilize Cloud hosted (RDS, Graph) DB persistence and near-real time analytics over a SQS feed, all deployed in an AWS cloud infrastructure. The ALE team operates in a DevOps fashion, meaning we not only develop software but we are also responsible for deploying and maintaining it in production, from auto-scaling servers to instrumentation of our applications. Sound interesting? This exciting growth area needs a talented Engineer to join its ranks who would be a bold thinker and innovator. We motivate each other to explore new frontiers in an environment that supports and inspires us to always be better. By pushing the boundaries of technology - and each other to surpass these boundaries - we create seeds of learning that become the catalyst for the world's innovations, personal and global, large and small.
