Software Development Tech Lead (Remote, Full-Time) Are you a skilled developer looking to use your expertise in a small, collaborative team with a supportive environment?

About the Company and Sites



BrightSprout is a suite of innovative, online tools that help teachers quickly and easily create classroom materials. Our close-knit team of nine helps hundreds of thousands of educators around the globe make activities like worksheets, crosswords, word searches, bingo sets, and flashcards.

Get the autonomy of remote work alongside the benefits of small company culture––all while making significant contributions to a business that helps people. We’ve always been an all-remote company, and are committed to realizing the benefits of remote work.

Aside from our daily standups (3 PM UTC), you can work from anywhere in the world with a flexible schedule.

We enjoy our work because we like helping teachers and get excited to solve difficult challenges with creative code. Technical Leadership:
Ensure new functionality is implemented with an eye to sustainable growth and code quality
Provide technical expertise, coaching, and guidance to the development team, particularly in project kickoff and code review
Software Development
Build, test, and deploy inventive tools that let teachers create high-quality activities for students
