Writable (the application) and as an incubator for new digital solutions.

Our team works with 16k+ schools and districts to help educators communicate with every student in the moment, save time on prep and grading, and maximize the impact of their curriculum and resources. We are a small, focused, and fun team with a strong mission to support and help educators and students.
Senior Software Engineers within HMH Labs are responsible for feature development and maintenance throughout the entire software development life cycle.

You genuinely care about end users, consistently striving to limit and quickly resolve functional and performance issues. You ask questions and collaborate to ensure timely, successful completion of projects. You take change in stride, accepting frequent priority shifts and mutable requirements. Full-stack development experience. Able to work remotely. The answer will vary depending on the project and the day. There will be front end work in HTML5 and backend work with ASP.NET MVC, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. You may also work with Angular, React, Java, and any number of libraries and tools to facilitate integrations with other HMH properties and a wide array of tools for AI development work.
