      .big-text
        p Although we've already reached millions of players, we are just getting started, and there is so much more to build. Over the next year, we'll be pushing hard on mobile, gameplay, and education tools. We are looking for strong engineers who are eager to jump in and take the lead on shipping these projects and more.

        p CodeCombat is built with Node, Backbone, and CoffeeScript. If you don’t know these particular technologies yet we’ll help you ramp up in no time.

        p CodeCombat is 100% open source, which is a lot of fun–you'll get to work with 400 open source contributors and be able to take your code (and your awesome GitHub profile) wherever you go.

      h3 iOS at CodeCombat

      .big-text
        p Want to write the first iPad app for CodeCombat?  We’re looking for a product-focused engineer to translate our core gameplay and educational tools into an experience that feels like it was born on the iPad.

        p Building a great iPad experience is important to CodeCombat because many classrooms are using iPads instead of desktops with their students.  It’s essential that we bring CodeCombat to those students as well.

        p We’re looking for someone who is well-versed in iOS development, has a strong understanding of good UX, and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty in the backend code.

        p (Typing real code on a iPad–how could that be any fun? Well, just wait until you see what we've been working on.)

      h3 Game Design at CodeCombat

      .big-text
        p Our game levels are a core piece of CodeCombat.  Much of the work we do revolves around improving them or the way they’re accessed by our players.

      h3 Example Projects

      .big-text
        p
          strong Build levels
          div Turn learning computer science concepts into a game!  For example, teach loops by creating a patterned maze.

        p
          strong Tune levels
          div We have extensive analytics on where players get confused or stop having fun. You’ll dig into that data to come up with balance tweaks, helpful asides, and improved pacing for all our levels.

        p
          strong Create level components
          div Code up new hero abilities, spells, items, and enemies that will be used across multiple levels.

      h3 Requirements

      .big-text
        p We’re looking for someone with some programming experience, has played through the CodeCombat levels, can creatively bring levels to life, and has an eye for detail.

    p CodeCombat is changing how kids learn computer science, using real programming languages to explore an adventure game.  Students start with simple function calls to move a hero and before long they’re writing functions to send archers to the eastern defenses.

    p Our teacher tools allow CodeCombat to create classroom experiences that inspire students to become programmers. Can you imagine how cool it would have been to play CodeCombat in school when you were growing up? We are bringing the wizardry of programming to everyone.
