Job Description

Literati is looking for an exceptional individual to join our engineering team as a Full Stack Software Engineer to work on our core Children’s product. The right person for this role will be motivated to get things done regardless of where in the tech stack it is. You must be able to hang your hat on at least your Python or Javascript skills, but not necessarily both as we have a strong team of senior engineers to up your game where it has gaps. This role will join our Children’s engineering team to support the growth of our core product here at Literati! You will play a critical part in optimizing our current product that has seen record-breaking growth this year, as well as build a ton of new features and products.

WE’RE GOOD AT:

Bringing the fire. We are a startup, with all the fierce dedication and sparkling energy to accomplish great feats. Iron sharpens iron, and so we’ve refined our teams from only the strongest metals: open minds, bright ideas, and bold determination.

Qualifications

YOU’RE GOOD AT:

• Getting things done.
• Thriving in a fast-paced environment where decisions are made on the fly. 
• Being gritty & rolling up your sleeves whenever necessary.
• Juggling. You successfully manage competing priorities, and you make it look easy.
• Being a team player who has worked on diverse teams and knows how to communicate effectively.

YOU WILL NEED:

• BS in Computer Science or similar field
• Strong JavaScript and Python chops
• Familiarity with React or similar framework like Vue and compiled CSS
• Familiarity with Django or similar framework
• Willingness to learn one of the above if you’re not an expert in both
• Strong preference for simplicity in design both visually and in code
• 5-7 years building production-grade reactive web applications

Additional Information

We seek people with drive and a touch of alchemy—and if that sounds like you, you should join us. Even if your experience isn’t a precise match for the role, passion and prowess will always win the day in our book. And if your career has taken you to some spectacular (or spectacularly strange) places? We love a good story.

At Literati, we value the power of reading for all: anyone who dreams, anyone who wonders, anyone of any age, from any background. We are dedicated to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and connectedness that sees, reflects, welcomes, and celebrates the innovation and talent of a diverse array of people.
