The GovernorHub platform has been built from scratch on a modern, microservice based technology stack, primarily written in Javascript (Node.js, angular.js, React, Cordova) and C#. It consists of a web application, mobile app and various reporting and administrative tools. We've got MongoDB, Redis and Elasticsearch databases, our service sits on Google Kubernetes Engine, we use a bunch of products and tools from various cloud providers, and code updates are automatically deployed into production as soon as they hit our GitHub master branches.

You're always coming up with edge cases and you appreciate the virtues of a well crafted automated test. * Perseverance, as, unfortunately we can't promise that things will always go 100% swimmingly. * Oodles of curiosity. Because life isn't fun if you're not continuously learning. Highly desirable are any of the following: * Javascript skills - particularly knowledge and experience of NodeJS * Experience of going through the peaks and troughs of building components of a SaaS product, having to scale them and keep them running. * An understanding of DevOps in a cloud environment, including the underlying systems (networking, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes etc) * Knowledge of front-end technologies - React, angular.js * Experience in the EdTech sector * Knowledge of schools and/or school governance How to apply More information on the company please go to The deadline for applications is 6pm on Wednesday 27th May PLEASE NOTE that to apply from indeed please scroll down to click 'apply on company'.
