About Learnosity


Who we are

Learnosity is a pioneering SaaS company specializing in assessment technology. We believe that while the future belongs to learners, most educational technology is still stuck in the past. Our mission is to help drive the industry forward by providing a new standard of technology to build with. We support innovation to increase the possibilities for learning.


What we do

Learnosity’s assessment APIs give your developers the freedom they need to build the learning products you want. Our cloud-based technology lets you add any assessment function at any scale to create industry-leading products that support learners at every stage of their development.


Our Team

With diverse backgrounds, talents and personalities our team is made up of smart, passionate and dedicated people who take work - but not themselves - seriously. Being part of the Learnosity team is a commitment to push yourself and those around you to do better, constantly adapt and learn new technologies, and be able to apply yourself to any challenge, whether you’re just starting out or a veteran of the industry.

We encourage staff to get involved in individual advancement and professional certification programmes, and will sponsor certification exams where appropriate. Our team is on the cutting edge of web development and we want it to stay there.


You

We are keen to try and maximise the value of your time and will design a schedule around your preferred working style, whether you need to accommodate a school or nursery run, avoid busy commute periods, a gym or sports club schedule, we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

With offices in Dublin, Sydney and New York City we are a global company yet still small enough for you to contribute directly to the bottom line.
