Going Merry was founded in 2017 by Stanford and Carnegie Mellon students who had personally experienced both the power of scholarships in unlocking higher education and the pain of the current application system. Backed by Pear VC.
About the role
An ideal fit would be a candidate with a computer science background, who perhaps plans to be a co-founder and wants to get a deeper understanding of early stage startups. Or you’ll be a more experienced engineer with some JavaScript experience, who is keen to join a growing engineering team and make a real difference. Either way you’ll be excited by the opportunity to join a fast-growing start-up, in a role where you’ll be able to take ownership of a core part of the platform.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related discipline or equivalent work experience
- Proficiency in JVM-related language(s) with at least 3+ years of experience
- Experience with relational database, such as Postgres or MySQL, caching mechanisms, and async processing
- Experience building API, either via RESTful API or GraphQL
- Experience with distributed source code management tools such as Git, Mercurial, etc
- Does not mind working fairly independently, but are not afraid to ask for assistance
