Join our Talent Pool - Engineering

If you don’t see any suitable positions for you right now but if you’d love to work at Perlego in the future, apply to join our Engineering Talent Pool.

Wait a minute, what’s a Talent Pool?

A Talent Pool is a way for us to connect with great candidates that are interested in joining Perlego but can't find the right position to apply for.

What kind of roles do Perlego normally hire for?

The roles we're likely to be hiring for within the next 6-12 months are:

Software Engineer (tech stacks below)

DevOps Engineer

QA Engineer

Data Engineer

What’s Perlego’s Tech Stack? Great question. Our tech stack is something we're very proud of...

It consists of, but not limited to:

JavaScript, React, React Native, Node.js, Storybook for components, Python

AWS: S3, Glacier, Lambda Functions, AWS Code Pipeline, SQS and SNS. RDS (Aurora) & DynamoDB, Elasticsearch Service, IAM, Guard Duty, GitHub

Requirements

What happens when I join the Talent Pool?

This talent pool isn’t actively monitored, however, when we start hiring for a new role, this is our first stop before advertising anywhere else.

So I'll basically be jumping the queue and joining the VIP list?

Exactly! We are always looking for people who are passionate about our product and mission to make education accessible to all. So if you are and want to be a part of our journey, we want to talk to you first. This also means less time searching for candidates for us and a faster interview process for you - it’s a win-win.

I’m an Agency Recruiter/ Outsourcing Specialist/ Contractor - can I help?

Unfortunately, we don't work with the above at the present time and have no plans in the future.
