Software Engineer- Cambridge or Woburn, MA location

Software Engineer (Ruby, Java, or Python)

Software engineers are what makes or breaks our company. Our software engineers build highly efficient and intelligent software to generate maximum revenue and margin dollars. This job requires not only a solid understanding of best engineering practices, but also just as importantly, understanding of our business in the online marketing space and a solid, analytical approach.

Our engineers work with the research, sales, and traffic teams to build solutions to their toughest problems and rapidly deploy tools to keep our business ahead of the competition. Our small teams are solely responsible for their projects. This allows each engineer a high level of independence and flexibility, but also demands responsible project and resource management.

Built by data driven MIT scientists, our successful startup company has transformed into becoming one of the major players in the online education space. We need highly motivated, independent thinkers that want to make an impact on the business while not having to wait for a successful exit. Our compensation plans are highly competitive and we prefer short-term bonuses over any unclear or hazy equity package.

If you want to be a major driver of what we build and what makes us successful, and have what it takes to back that up, we want to talk to you.

You:
·     Are driven and goal oriented

·     Like to solve complicated problems

·     Have an analytical mind set

·     Like to dig into data to find answers

·     BS in CS or equivalent (a plus, not a must)
