ABOUT THE ROLE

As a web developer at Lanterna you’ll start off by working with either frontend or backend. Eventually you’ll expand into working with all parts of the platform, as a full stack developer. You’ll be writing maintainable, testable code with focus on readability and modularity, and will be an important part of a tight team. At Lanterna, every line of code you write will count and really make a difference for our students and teachers. We keep bureaucracy to a minimum and work close to our users.

You’ll work in an adaptive organization where it’s part of your job to learn new techniques and to continuously help improve our ways of working. You can look forward to working with highly skilled and dedicated colleagues that believe in doing code-reviews, pair-programming and that sharing is caring.

WHAT WE OFFER

Lanterna Online is driven by a group of engaged and highly achieving individuals that love coming to work! Our goal is to make the day to day-life of our users, students and teachers, a little better and we hope you find this goal as exciting as we do.

To reach this goal, we use modern technology to give the textbook intelligence. We build adaptive learning algorithms, activity and suggestion engines, automated assessment tools, etc, all with the end user in focus.

We’re still a small company in its startup phase but we’re growing fast. Here, you’ll not be just another brick, what you do really makes a difference. No big corporate structure that is slow to change or kills creativity!

Lanterna being small also means we have a high interest in developing you as a person and developer, to help you become your very best. You’ll be assigned a personal mentor with many years of experience in development, that has a genuine interest in boosting your career. Eventually, we expect you to grow and take new responsibilities within the tech team.
