どうやっているのか
We are owned by a large Japanese company, DMM (http://eikaiwa.dmm.com/), but are an independent entity with a small company atmosphere and approach. We go from ideas to prototypes to working features quickly, and we're looking for someone who can help us every step of the way. We think that fast, focused releases are the best way to craft the best learning experiences for our users.
You'll be working in a tech environment with modern tools and technologies. We have a sophisticated and well-crafted JavaScript application, targeting only modern web browsers. This is our stack, in brief:
ES6/React/HTML/Sass
Rails/Ruby
AWS
We're looking for people with solid fundamentals rather than experience with this particular technology, so you don't need to check these boxes to apply if you've got a strong background.
こんなことやります
We're looking for a full-time front-end engineer to join our Tokyo office, preferably with an interest in language-learning. Japanese language experience is not required but welcome.
Our hiring process:
* A quick call with two members of our team
We'll ask a little about your past experience and current situation, let you know what it's like to work at iKnow!, and answer any questions you may have. If you're in Tokyo, you're welcome to come to the office and do this in person.
* Technical challenges interview
We want you to see how you work your way through a problem iteratively and hear you discuss your approach. We use a collaborative programming web service and you'll be able to use the internet, so you don't need to memorize libraries or method names. You'll be able to run your code as often as you like to debug and refine it.
* Architectural challenge
We'll ask you to complete a small-scale architecture challenge. This will be an offline task that can be completed in a few hours.
If all goes well, we'll reach out to you quickly and make an offer.
