Have you ever seen a room full of 2nd graders try to log into something?

We have, and it isn’t pretty. Imagine 30 arms wriggling in the air and one crazed teacher running around the computer lab to troubleshoot. That’s what a typical day visiting our users looks like.<p>This is why at Clever (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;clever.com), we’ve set out to build a better underlying platform. Step 1 is Facebook Connect for education: one identity to tie together all of a student’s learning applications into a cohesive experience.<p>We&#x27;re a small, highly technical team with deep experience in education. In under two years, 1 in 7 schools in America has begun using our APIs, meaning that Clever moves data for eight million students every day.<p>And while we have all the startup perks (a beautiful loft office in SoMa, free lunch, unlimited Amazon credits for learning..) – hands down the best part of the job are the calls and emails from schools describing how much Clever helps them.<p>As an education company, we’re all about learning personally too – it’s practically a prerequisite to work here. In the past few weeks we’ve done tech talks on things like exoplanets, set theory, and kitesurfing. (We also love a good round of bughouse chess – just ask Magnus Carlsen http:&#x2F;&#x2F;screencast.com&#x2F;t&#x2F;xD7umWfo)<p>We’re looking for full-stack engineers who can hack in Node, Go, and Python (or are willing to learn), but more importantly, we’re looking for people who share our passion for improving education. If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;clever.com&#x2F;about&#x2F;jobs<p>At Clever, all we care about is if you’re skilled and fun to work with; all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, or physical disability.
