Memrise | Software Engineers, Data Scientists, UX Lead | London UK | Full-Time, Onsite, Visa sponsorship and relocation available | https://www.memrise.com

Memrise gives people learning superpowers. We aim to help anyone achieve confident, real-world language skills in just a few short months; our product is innovative and fun, and it delivers the goods.

Last year, we won the "App of the Year 2017" at the Google Play Awards. With near zero marketing spend we've grown organically to tens of millions of users, and we're already profitable with a team of 55 (comprising 37 nationalities).

Engineering-wise, we are a small but very ambitious team and value generalists that like working end-to-end, across the stack, owning their services in production. We have unique and interesting problems to solve in scalability, big data, machine learning, and interface design.

We are expanding and looking to fill the following roles immediately:

* Senior Software Engineer (x2)

* Senior iOS Engineer

* Senior Android Engineer

We use Python 3.6 / Django / MySQL running on Kubernetes for the backend and React/Redux on the frontend. The iOS and Android apps are regularly featured native apps written in Obj-C/Swift and Java.

We are also hiring data scientists, user researches, marketers, learning scientists, designers, and a Danish translator.

If you're interested in any of these jobs - or if you are just awesome and think we'd be a good place to show off your talents - please apply at https://www.memrise.com/jobs/

If you don't see a specific role on the jobs page that you fit, please apply for the "Speculative Application".
