Why Tassomai?
Tassomai has established itself as an edtech tool able to transform teaching and learning across the United Kingdom and beyond. Its essential power is to be able to identify where students need more support and direct them (along with their teachers and parents) to practice and resources that can help.
We have an established brand and reputation as an evidenced, impactful learning tool. We are developing products tailored for those supporting students in their learning with the Teacher Dashboard and the Overseer Dashboard and App providing detailed and clear data relating to their students progress and how to support them where they need extra help
We are working to demonstrate those aspects of Tassomai that separate us from the alternatives: personalisation, evidence of impact, expertise in the exam system, quality of pedagogy and content and more. We will develop our resources and services in order to offer value to customers, reflecting what makes Tassomai special and marking us out as true education innovators.
What’s the Challenge?
Our small team of software engineers are looking to expand by adding a Front End software engineer. The team is dedicated to keeping a consistent service of the platform and delivering features to improve education for learners and enable overseers to better help the students learn.
This is an opportunity to join a supportive team who thrive on teamwork and personal development, unified in their commitment to providing an application to improve the educational prospects for school students, to level the playing field in education.
You could have an interest in expanding your knowledge to become more Full Stack over time.
