Our Team

Our team is full of talented and purpose-driven people who are dedicated to making an impact in the education technology industry. We are incredibly proud of the work we do. Joining our team means embracing a high-performance culture that aligns with our core values. Here’s what you can realistically expect:

Accountability: We take ownership of our work and responsibilities. You'll manage a dynamic workload and may face occasional extra hours during peak periods. Our team thrives under pressure, and we hold ourselves accountable for delivering results and meeting high standards. You won't be a good fit if you're not comfortable with a demanding work environment and fluctuating workloads.

Collaboration: We enhance each other's success through effective teamwork and shared goals. While most of our work is remote, we gather in the office 1-2 times a month. These in-person meetings are essential for fostering strong relationships and ensuring productive collaboration. You won't be a good fit if you prefer not to engage in occasional in-person meetings or if you struggle with remote teamwork.

Growth: We are dedicated to continuous improvement and professional development. You'll be presented with challenges that promote learning and growth in your role. We offer opportunities for skill-building and career advancement to support your ongoing progress. You won't be a good fit if you're not open to taking on new challenges and actively seeking personal and professional growth.

Adaptability: We operate in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift rapidly. You'll need to adapt to changing conditions and manage multiple tasks efficiently. You'll thrive here if you excel in a dynamic setting and embrace change. You won't be a good fit if you struggle with having a variety of responsibilities and shifting priorities.

Transparency: We prioritize clear and open communication. We're upfront about our expectations and recognize that this type of work environment is not for everyone. Accurate and honest interactions are key to ensuring you have a clear understanding of your role and responsibilities. You won't be a good fit if you are uncomfortable with open communication and transparent feedback.

Community: We work with individuals who are genuinely passionate about education and our mission to support student success. Our team is committed to making a meaningful impact, and we seek those who share this dedication and enthusiasm for our mission. You won't be a good fit if you're not passionate about our mission or if you don't share our commitment to making a difference with our products and services.

Our Hiring Process

Every new hire will have a huge impact on our organization, so we take both the hiring process and the candidate experience seriously - we know that an interview goes both ways! We will keep an open line of communication throughout the process and ensure there is time at the end of all interviews for candidates to ask any questions.

Our hiring process will generally follow this format:

1. We review the skills and competencies required for each position and will be in touch with those who best match the role requirements. If this is you, we'll send you a short technical quiz via email for you to complete on your own time; this will give you a better understanding of the work we do as it will be reflective of the role you’re applying for. 
2. A virtual interview with our Director of Engineering and Team Lead of Mobile Application Development to go over your background, the position, and the organization in more detail; we’ll dive deeper into the job-specific and technical components of the role, as well as behavioural aspects.
3. We extend an offer and you join our team! Offers will be contingent upon successful reference checks and background checks. 

At myBlueprint, we are committed to building and fostering a workplace where our employees feel included, valued, and heard. We aim to have a barrier-free recruitment and selection process and will work with applicants requesting accommodation at any stage. We embrace the diverse perspectives and experiences from all backgrounds and encourage interested candidates to apply, regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, citizenship, disability, national origin, or any other protected status. If your experience does not 100% match the job description, or if you are unsure about whether or not you qualify, we still encourage you to apply - there are many pathways to a successful career, and we would like to hear about yours!
