We’re hiring engineers, who are passionate about technology and education, to help build and enhance the Canvas interoperability layer like REST APIs, LTI Advantage (http://www.imsglobal.org/lti-advantage-overview), GraphQL, event publication, etc. 

Like our customers, we value a learning culture and expect our engineers to work closely with product and support to build the best possible solutions, not just write code to a spec. We put our money where our mouth is. Engineers at Instructure enjoy an annual company-wide tech conference, biweekly tech talks, and quarterly Hackweeks, all designed to encourage as much exploration and learning as possible.

Much of our work is open source, including our primary product (Canvas).

  • Work in Canvas to implement the latest IMS Global interoperability standards and other APIs to allow third-party integration.
  • Write testable, performant code that can scale to tens of millions of requests per day.
  • Mentor and teach other engineers, encouraging best practices, and fostering code reuse.
  • Work with a mature technology stack that includes Node, Go, Docker, Terraform, and React.
