I'm the technical lead on the Quests for the Core team (www.amplify.com/curriculum/quests-for-the-core), a part of Amplify Learning) - I'm specifically looking to fill a role on my team, as well as a few similar roles on some of the other Learning development teams (who are also creating interactive student-facing applications). I'm looking specifically for someone with good front-end skills, who can own the development of an interactive educational application from start to finish, and likes to experiment with new technologies and work closely with designers - the technologies we currently use on my team are HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery, and AngularJS - and some of the other Learning teams are also looking for HTML5 canvas and/or Unity3D experience. If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out to me directly at nbieber at amplify.com - or feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about what it's like to work at Amplify.
