The posting

Padlet https://padlet.com is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.

For a majority of the world, the mobile device is their first computer. For many it’s their only computer. We are looking for Mobile Engineers to improve our mobile apps so we can improve the lives of a billion people.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Building new features for our iOS and/or Android apps. E.g. a voice recorder with audio effects.

- Making apps faster and more reliable. E.g. making network calls more resistant to spotty internet connections.

- Improving how we work. E.g. improving our internationalization pipelines we use to translate our app into 40+ languages.

QUALIFICATIONS

- At some point in your life, someone has told you: “you write good code.”

- You know how to copy-paste code from Stack Overflow.

- Bonus: you have a good sense of humor.

ABOUT PADLET

- Vision: Every child in the world will grow up with Mickey Mouse and Padlet.

- Product: We are making the default way of collecting and sharing thoughts on the Internet. People love the product.

- Impact: We have 40 million users, making Padlet one of the most used apps on the planet.

- Money: We are venture backed AND fiscally responsible. We are built to last one hundred years.

- Badassery: We are only 60 odd people. That's over half a million active users per person.

TECH STACK

- Mobile apps: React Native (with Swift and Java where necessary.)

- Backend: Ruby (Rails), Typescript, Elixir (Phoenix), and Python.

- Web: VueJS, Tailwind.

- Storage: Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, Firestore, and Snowflake.

JOYS OF PROGRAMMING AT PADLET

- We have very few meetings. We value keeping you in flow.

- A lot of people use Padlet. We have to solve interesting concurrency problems.

- Our users are in over 200 countries, using all kinds of devices and connections, and speaking over 40 languages. We have to solve interesting internationalization problems.

- We process a lot of data real fast. We have to solve interesting scale problems.

- We try to solve problems creatively instead of just throwing money at them. We are engineers! We thrive in constraints, not in the absence of them.

- We ship often.

- We value beautiful code.

SORROWS OF PROGRAMMING AT PADLET

- We grew pretty fast last year and our processes are still catching up. E.g. we don't have 100% code coverage yet. Our deployment process isn't as painless as it could be. This sometimes leads to spending time on things that aren't the most fun. We’re working on it!

- Our project management process could be better. This sometimes leads to re-speccing in the middle of development, getting in the way of programming flow. We’re working on it!

SOME PEOPLE YOU‘D BE WORKING WITH

- Brian Koh: Only human we know who has impulsive urges to exercise. When he does, he doesn't care about outfits. We've seen him running in boots, tight jeans, and leather jackets. Exceptional engineer and even better mentor.

- Chee Kit Chong: Chee Kit is responsible for at least 10% of Japan's GDP. He's there like every other week. Soon, they'd have to start reclaiming land so he has new things to see. Mobile engineer extraordinaire.

THE OFFICE

- We have a beautiful office https://padlet.link/sg-office-gmap in the historic Bukit Pasoh Neighbourhood.

- 1 minute walk from Outram Park MRT.

- We have a lovely balcony. It's really, truly lovely.

- Designed to be a space to inspire creativity and collaboration.

BENEFITS

- Medical and dental insurance for you and your family.

- Stock options.

- Catered lunches and dinners. Military grade snacking.

- 20 vacation days. Plus sickness and bereavement days for when life happens.

- Parental leave.

- All the gadgetry you need, including a new phone every year.

- Badassery budget to level up.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
