SchoolsPLP Developer
We’re a small, fully-remote team looking for an experienced back-end or full-stack developer with a passion for testing, reliability, and bug hunting to help maintain, scale, and extend a SaaS app used daily by hundreds of thousands of students and teachers. Our software synchronizes data between multiple third-party systems and our own databases to deliver real-time reports, visualizations, communication, and configuration tools for teachers and students working together online.
Example tasks: fix issues, refactor code, develop apps, api integration, ad-hoc reports etc.
Software and infrastructure stack:
• Go language
• MySQL
• Redis
• HTML/CSS and unobtrusive JavaScript
• AWS infrastructure (Elastic Beanstalk, Aurora, Lambda, SQS, CloudFormation)
Experience with school district data and/or online education is a plus, as is experience with distributed systems and concurrency.

1. Why do you want to work as a software developer?
2. How would you feel about working with a supervisor who had extremely high and sometimes unrealistic expectations of you?
3. How do you get ready for your work day?
4. How have you acquired your skills as a developer?
5. How do you feel when you make a mistake? What do you do?
6. If you were not doing software development, what would you most want to be doing?
7. Suppose two team members are arguing about something you consider to be unimportant. What would you do?
8. A co-worker has difficulty completing tasks planned for the day. How would you help?
9. What have you found to be the most important sources of information to learn more about software development?
10. How important is it for you to be one of the most skillful employees in your work area? In what areas are you especially skillful?
11. Suppose a supervisor you respect and admire has shown a marked deterioration in the way they treat people. What would you do?
12. Do you frequently have an urge to complete more work than is possible in a given day? What do you do about it?
13. Your supervisor is putting pressure on a new employee in your area and the pressure is getting the person down. What would you do?
14. A poor employee has been named “employee of the month” by your supervisor. How would you react to such undeserved recognition?
15. You have an important task to complete. Another employee who seldom seeks help requests your assistance right away. What would you do?
16. How do you develop a good working relationship with your supervisor?
17. Some others with whom you work seem afraid to tell their supervisor what they are really thinking, but share their feelings with others. How do you feel about such behavior?
18. How do you cope with tense situations at work?
19. How do you think your area of work is likely to change over the next few years? How do you feel about these changes?
20. Do you believe you could work effectively with a supervisor who is disorganized? How would you work with this person?
21. You are aware of an employee friend of yours who is falsifying hours on their time card. What would you do?
22. Would you rather work in relative isolation or with a lot of other people? Why?
23. You have a supervisor who seldom likes to complete tasks considered to be of high priority. How would you deal with this situation?
