Job description

The fun of working at LessonUp

LessonUp is a leading platform and educational SaaS for teachers and students. We offer a range of innovative tools and resources that help educators create engaging and effective learning experiences.


As a developer, you will find some great things at LessonUp. Apart from a mission-driven team that is ready to make a change, you will work on something that is being used on a daily basis by thousands (200K+ users!) of people. Not just in the Netherlands, but on a global level. 50% of our team is focused on product & tech. We also highly value your personal development. Apart from the learning curve you will get from working in our team and amongst other high-quality professionals, we will set up a personal development plan and will offer you time and education, based on your personal learning goals.

But most of all, our team will make you feel welcome and at home. LessonUp style. :)

What you'll be doing:

  • Write clean, high-performance code used by thousands of teachers and students, ensuring it works well for everyone.
  • Work closely with different cross-functional teams to smoothly add new features and improvements to our software.
  • Look for ways to make our solutions work well as more people use them and as technology changes.
  • Take responsibility for making sure our team's solutions are really good, from start to finish.
  • Try out new tools and technologies to make our software better, and help add new things to what we already use.
  • Help newer developers learn and grow by showing them the ropes and sharing what you know.
