AT PREPLY, WE ARE UNLOCKING HUMAN POTENTIAL THROUGH LEARNING.
We believe learning with a great tutor is life-changing. That’s why we match
online tutors from across the globe with learners and empower them to create
live language classes with AI-powered tools and learning materials. This is how
we deliver progress, create engagement and keep our global community of learners
motivated. So far, over 32,000 tutors have given more than 15 million lessons
to learners from over 175 countries.
MEET THE TEAM!
Join Preply’s Teams and help us power people’s progress through life-changing
learning experiences. We’re on a mission to combine the magic of the best tutors
with cutting-edge AI to create personalized journeys that keep learners
motivated and inspired. The Preply Engineering Team provides the tools to help
unlock human potential through learning.
Our team builds scalable, resilient applications using the powerful combination
of Python/Django on the backend and ReactJS on the frontend — all to deliver
an exceptional, seamless experience to our users.
We’re proudly tech-agnostic, meaning we’re open to candidates with a variety
of technical backgrounds — whether that’s Java/Spring, Node.js/Express, Ruby
on Rails, Scala/Play, PHP, or Golang.
While Python is our main language, prior experience with it isn’t required. What
matters most is your willingness to learn, your ability to adapt quickly, and
your enthusiasm for using Python in product-focused development.
We implement A/B tests to prove the value of our initiatives and improve our
product based on data and students and tutors feedback. As part of our
commitment to ensuring high-quality products, we prioritize monitoring and
metrics analysis to identify areas for optimization and ensure our services are
performing at their best.
At Preply, we release our product 50-60 times per day by leveraging top-notch
CI/CD processes. As a fast-growing company we have diverse technical challenges
