Software Engineer - Kira Talent (www.kiratalent.com/about/) - Toronto, Canada - Full-Time
Our mission is to help schools predict their most successful students. We're used by almost half of the top MBA programs across North America, and are quickly growing in engineering, undergraduate business and science programs.
Applicants complete timed and written assessments created by the school, that test non-cognitive competencies like leadership, creativity and empathy. Admissions teams can then better evaluate students and build a stronger program overall.
We've raised over $3M of financing, and are growing our engineering team in all areas (full-stack web, infrastructure, etc).
Here's what we're working on: - architecting and building global infrastructure to scale our video recording and streaming - workflow features that help admissions team assign applicants to certain reviewers, and manage their reviewing teams - capturing analytics data about how our users use the product, and making decisions internally - data trumps everything!
Here's what we use: Python (Django), JavaScript (jQuery, RequireJS, FlightJS), MySQL, Celery, RabbitMQ, Wowza, AWS,.
You’d be a great fit to our team if you have:
  - 2+ years of software engineering experience in production
  - Proven yourself as an A+ engineer through great work results, interesting hobby projects, open source contributions, or superior academic results
  - Deep experience with multiple programming languages including Python, C, Java, Ruby, JavaScript

Since we’re a small team (you’d be #16), we have lots of fun together! We host bi-weekly lunch &amp; learns, beer o’clock on Friday afternoons, board game nights every few weeks and have done tons of activities outside of work (i.e. wine tasting, cottage retreat, etc).
My name is Konrad, and I'm one of the founders! Send me a note at REDACTED_EMAIL if you're interested!
