Moodle with us!

Moodle is the world’s most trusted online learning solution. The engine of our ecosystem is Moodle LMS, the secure open-source platform used by over 200 million learners worldwide. The learning and development functionalities of Moodle LMS have been further enhanced for workplace learning via Moodle Workplace, a flexible and customisable platform streamlining onboarding, workplace learning and compliance management.

While Moodle Workplace is relatively young, it is a fast growing competitor in the burgeoning workplace learning sector and consequently, we require an exceptional developer to join the Moodle Workplace team.

At Moodle, we’re a small but mighty group of passionate people, based in several different countries around the world. We’re united by our dedication to enable best-practice online learning whether within education institutions or workplaces and we are looking for someone who is aligned to our values and goals.

Who we are:

You will be working in the Moodle Workplace team alongside with a small but exceptional multi-disciplinary group. We are very passionate about what we do and we work hard every day in our belief that Moodle Workplace will transform workplace learning.

Our team is fully remote, and not just because of COVID19, but because we believe in getting the best people, irrespective of where they live in the world. In case you prefer working at an office, you can access an office if you reside in Barcelona, Spain.

Many of the Moodle Workplace team members are based in Spain and the UK and it would be beneficial if you are in that timezone, but we also have colleagues all over the world - Australia (Moodle HQ office), Belgium, Canada, USA, Czechia, Netherlands, Italy and Greece.

 

Requirements

What are we looking for?

If you are the ideal candidate, it probably means that one of the below is true:

• you have PHP/JS/SQL/HTML5/CSS experience and you are already working with/contributing to Moodle, or
• you have PHP/JS/SQL/HTML5/CSS experience in another type of products, but you are keen to become a Moodle expert or
• you are an experienced PHP programmer and have experience working with any other LMS.

However, if none of the above is true for you but you still think you are right for this, feel free to apply and let us know why.

Some other things that are important to us:

• You are fluent in English.
• You communicate well in writing. Not only because we work asynchronously, but also because you will have to write documentation and guides and the occasional blog post.
• Ideally, you are located somewhere in Europe, or at least, not too many time-zones away. This is not essential but would certainly make it easier as, for now, our team is entirely between the CET and GMT timezones.

 

We'd love to meet you especially if you can tell us more about your:

 

• good knowledge of PHP, Javascript, SQL, HTML5, CSS.
• programming experience in a medium to large scale development environment (PHP)
• experience using Git and Jira
• experience with automated testing (we use PHPUnit and Behat)
• good knowledge of web application security, performance and scalability.
• experience working with Web Services and RESTful applications.
• ability to organise your workload to meet deadlines.
• enthusiastic and approachable personality.
• excellent communication skills (both written and verbal).
• fluency in English.

And you will go straight to the people position if you:

• Have good knowledge of Moodle Architecture
• Have programming experience with Moodle
• Have contributed to the Moodle project, especially with code (core or plugins)
• Have experience writing unit tests and behat tests (We 🧡 TDD)

Benefits

How would your day look like

 

We are a product company and most of the people working at Moodle are part of a product team.

We use Jira for daily coordination, planning, issue tracking and milestones and Google Docs to discuss things like product decisions. And of course, also GitHub/GitLab. There is always something to read and discuss or to contribute to.

We have short release cycles (every two months) and we discuss the product pretty much every week, if not every day.

As a developer, most days can involve a mix of:

• writing high-quality code.
• designing and documenting the implementation of new features.
• reviewing code.
• writing automated tests.
• collaborating with other developers across multiple dev teams.
• contributing to product decisions.
• ...and laughing with your team...

 

Compensation

Compensation varies from the experience you have and how "ideal" a candidate you are for the role, whether you have experience as a Moodle developer or not and how quickly you could ramp up to fill the role. Let's have a talk about it!

DESCRIPTION

The Role

We’re looking for a sharp, self-motivated, problem-solving Senior Backend Engineer to join our team.

 

Using your knowledge of Ruby on Rails, you’ll work alongside other engineers, designers, and product managers to tackle everything from huge company initiatives to modest but important bug fixes, from start to finish. You’ll also collaborate with your product team on discovery, helping to assess the direction and feasibility of product changes. And, perhaps most importantly, you’ll actively contribute to the evolution of the culture and processes of a growing engineering team.

 

What We Ask Of You

Must-haves

These are our non-negotiables:
Show up: have the courage to do difficult but necessary stuff.
Grow up: take responsibility, learn continuously, and have a growth mindset.
Do good: treat your co-workers and customers the way you want to be treated.
Strong experience with and knowledge of Ruby on Rails.
Experience working as a professional software engineer. (Sorry, we're not hiring new devs at this time.)
Reside permanently and currently somewhere in the continental US. Alas, we're not set up to hire outside of the US.
This position can be U.S. Remote or in our Lincoln office. At least one year of remote experience is required if you plan on working remotely. We are not accepting applicants outside the U.S. at this time.

 

Nice-to-haves

Day to day, you’ll spend 90%+ of your time working in Ruby on Rails, but, of course, that’s not all you’ll work with. While experience with the following technologies are not required (we’re cool with some on-the-job learning), you will see them with varying levels of frequency:
GraphQL & REST
PostgreSQL
Redis
AWS services (S3, EC2, etc)
ElasticSearch
MongoDB
Working At CompanyCam
Our Product and Engineering departments do things a little differently.

 

We use Basecamp’s Shape Up method (fused with empowered product teams a la Marty Cagan's Inspired) to organize and execute our work. That means you’ll work in a close-knit team consisting of a product manager, a product designer, and other engineers on an area of the product in 6-week cycles. During cycles you'll spend most of your time implementing product improvements, but you'll also work with your team shaping (generating and vetting) product improvements for next cycle. After each cycle you’ll get a 1-2 week cool-down where you’ll pursue educational opportunities, work on pet projects, or smash some bugs that have been nagging at you. Rinse and repeat until code nirvana.

 

Sounds nice, right? No sprinting, no scrumming, no death by 1,000 meetings. We protect our engineers' time, treat them like adults, and trust them to get their work done. We’re also big on not overworking people. Put in your eight hours of focused, quality work and then TURN. SLACK. OFF. No nights and weekends.

 

Our larger company culture is also refreshingly chill. We have fun, learn from each other, and don’t take ourselves too seriously.

 

We cover the important stuff too. We pay well, offer unlimited vacation, meaningful equity, health insurance, and other benefits. If you're local or down to move, we’re custom remodeling a new office space in the Lincoln Haymarket area that you’ll love. If you're remote (most of the engineering team is), we’re well set up with great conference room video equipment so you'll feel like you’re there with us, and once life is back to normal we’ll fly you in a few times a year to hang out.

DESCRIPTION

Finally… The Kind Of Data Science Job You've Always Wanted

 

Everyone seems to want a data scientist on their team.

 

But a lot of the data science jobs out there are not as sweet as they first appear. They usually fall into one of three categories.

 

First, there are the companies who want a data scientist on their team because “data science is very hot right now”.

 

But no one in the company seems to care that there isn't an actual business problem to be solved by data science.

 

Everyone's fine with it as long as a few simple-minded investors are happy… Or a particular kind of executive has their ego stroked.

 

In reality, the “data scientist” ends up working on tasks that connect to data science loosely at best. Of course, that's not the kind of job you want.

 

The jobs in the second group are much more appealing at first glance.

 

They're usually in well-established companies that know what they're doing. And data science is actually a meaningful tool for solving their business problems.

 

The issue is that these jobs are often not very fun.

 

The teams are quite large so you feel like just another cog in the machine. Would anyone even notice if you stopped contributing?

 

And all the meaningful breakthroughs seem to have been achieved before you joined. So you end up working on minute details in their models.

 

It might be a good fit for the right kind of data scientist, but is that you?

 

Luckily, there's a third kind of data science job. It's one that most resembles the projects that got you excited about data science in the first place.

 

The problems you're working on are still critical to the success of the business - even more so than in other companies.

 

But since the data science team is small, your contributions are very meaningful. And not everything's been figured out already, which makes the job fun and challenging.

 

This is the kind of job we offer.

 

If that's what you've been looking for, this page could literally change the course of your career. But only if you keep reading.

Who Are We And Why We Exist

There are more than a billion people in Asia that do not have access to mainstream financial services.

At the same time, most of them have an incredibly valuable digital footprint in their mobile devices, online presence, social media, everyday apps, and many other sources.

Enter Jeff, loan broker for the unbanked. We are on the way to building a new-generation Credit Score, based on alternative data. We want to become the Credit Karma of South-East Asia's emerging economies.

Jeff's journey started in the beginning of 2020. Since then, over 700,000 people have compared close to 6 Million products in Vietnam via Jeff.

We use data science for determining the credit and conversion scores of our users. Although we have working models for both right now, they need version 2.

Your job as our data scientist will be to build and continuously improve these models. You'll also participate in Jeff's Lender API development and new data type and variable implementation.

We hope that you're excited about what this position has to offer. But that's not all.

5 More Reasons To Join Jeff As A Data Scientist

1. Focus On Data Science

One of the most annoying things about being a data scientist is that other people in the company don't understand your role.

They expect you to perform tasks that have little to do with data science (e.g. create ad-hoc reports).

This won't be the case at Jeff. You'll have enough to do figuring out and improving your models, and your teammates will know that.

 

2. Data-Articulate Team

Your closest partners on our data team are not data scientists. But they understand data science well enough to be helpful to you, instead of holding you back.

Similarly, everyone in the company is data-literate.

So although you will be our number one expert on data science, you won't feel like you're speaking an entirely different language than everyone else. 

 

3. High Degree Of Freedom

You'll have more freedom at Jeff than almost any other data science job:
You'll create the new models from scratch. You won't have to untangle anyone else's idea of what the models should look like.
We'll trust you to do things your way if you can convince our small data team that your approach is the most reasonable.
If you ever need more resources for carrying out your job, we won't be stingy about providing them.

 

4. Worthwhile Mission

Access to financial services is taken for granted in the Western world. But it's kind of insane how many people in Asia don't have access to them.

Our work grants that access to people in Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, and beyond. We also let people compare and choose the best product for them.

It would be a pretty cool thing to build for any number of people. But building it for over a billion people really excites us.

If you're excited by our mission too, your work here will feel that much more meaningful.
