Our goal

We’re reinventing early childhood education through an online learning service for kids. With fresh content - games, books, videos, interactive episodes, etc - every week, we are helping millions of families and their children around the world learn in a fun and effective way.

Our dream is to have a positive impact on 100M families and we’re working hard to make it a reality. Our talented team of product designers, user researchers, product managers, data scientists, engineers, educational experts and content producers tweak and improve our product daily while incorporating feedback from our customers.

Are you ready to Playlearning with us?

As the Platform Manager, you will manage a team of platform and data engineers to build out an amazing internal platform that enables our product and data teams. Your work will be critical to ensure that our employees have the tools and infrastructure to supercharge their productivity and increase their leverage.

We have recently launched a freemium offering which has greatly expanded our monthly active user base. We need to ensure that we can cost-effectively meet this growing demand on our API and data platform. We are also making continuous investments in observability, performance monitoring and build automation to increase the productivity of our engineers.

We value simple solutions to complex problems. We are proud members of the Boring Technology Club and think strategically when choosing the best tool for the job. Our API is a Ruby on Rails majestic monolith hosted in AWS and our mobile apps are built using React Native.

Candidates for this role have several years of applied experience in managing and running platform teams to support growing businesses.

Specific responsibilities for this role include:

Essential Skills and Qualifications

English is a must. We are a multicultural team, and we are providing a service in English so, we don't care about certificates, but we expect you to be able to communicate fluently.

You should feel equally comfortable communicating in long-form writing. Given the circumstances, we have become a fully remote company. We believe that being articulate in both spoken and written long-form asynchronous communication is key to working efficiently together.
