Senior Java Engineer

Instructure makes software that makes smarter people. It all started with Canvas in 2011 and the goal to make teaching and learning a lot easier. In 2015, we launched Bridge, which aims to change the way you (and, more importantly, your employees) think about employee engagement and corporate training. Today, more than 2,000 universities, school districts and institutions around the world use (and love) our products.

rom its earliest days, Instructure has developed and deployed superior, easy-to-use software and we're about to do it again. In our continued fight against shoddy software, we're preparing to develop a new product and need the best to help us do it. If you're passionate about effective education that allows people to make new discoveries, share knowledge, and do big things then we should talk. We're hiring Senior Java Engineers in Utah County who are passionate about technology to build a new, next generation product for companies who want to invest in their employees.
