AspirEDU is hiring a Django Developer responsible for new features for our applications, improving performance, and maintaining our application to allow it to help our clients keep their 700,000 students successful in school.

AspirEDU helps schools identify students who are falling behind and alerts the student advisors. This allows schools to intercede and keep students engaged and on track. Clients have seen retention rates, which is the percentage of students staying in school instead of dropping out, rise due to using our system.

• Creating solutions to meet our clients’ needs and the needs of the business
• Reviewing the completion of nightly data retrievals to ensure all are providing the necessary data to our clients
• Evaluating all existing systems in place for improvements to the overall processes
• Working with the Client Services team to determine the cause of any issues, whether on our side or with the incoming data
• Defining and implementing the system architecture as the company’s needs grow and evolve
• Monitoring and maintaining each level of the technical stack

A typical day with AspirEDU would involve you reviewing the progress of the overnight retrievals, evaluating and resolving any issues with those, picking up a current strategic project or starting a new one, and answering questions from the Client Services team regarding any inquiries from clients.

Qualities we are looking for include:

• Curiosity
• Self-reliance
• Communication, including the ability to break technical concerns into common language
• Time and task management
• Flexibility
• An eye for security as we handle students’ data

Benefits include:

You will report to the CTO and will work alongside your other software engineer peers. Most of your work will be driven solely by you with your peers providing a sounding board and feedback via code reviews.
