About Impero
At Impero, we've been in Education Technology since 2002, building systems to keep children and young people safe and make them successful. We are passionate about protecting every learner, their wellbeing and their future through managing, supporting and monitoring. We do this by working closely with educators around the world. We’re now expanding our remote engineering team, currently based in the UK, to work with the best talent from around Europe.

We are first and foremost looking for best of breed developers who are positive and ambitious and who can demonstrate strong engineering principles. Our team is growing in a way that will allow you to play to your strengths: whether you enjoy data modelling and analysis, writing and consuming APIs, or building huge new feature sets.

We believe in creating careers, not jobs. During your time with us you’ll receive regular, honest, helpful feedback, with a clear progression path. We’ll be looking for ways to grow your expertise, and we will provide opportunities for your professional development. We’re a distributed team, who put energy into speaking every day – mostly over Slack - and getting to know each other. Our team is distributed-first: doing your best work isn't dependent on you being in a certain place.

Our web platforms – around two years old – are built exclusively in Ruby on Rails with interlinking native device clients, communicating through standard web protocols. We focus on student wellbeing, classroom management, and network and device administration.

This role is to work alongside our existing Ruby team as part of a new data strategy team: you’ll focus on working with third-party APIs to import data from lots of different systems into our data lake, and then analysing it to find the best ways to improve children’s wellbeing on a global scale.

At Impero, we believe we're creating something special, and we'd love for you to join us.
