    Background

    EF Education First is a global leader in international education, with a 50-year mission of opening the world through education. Our programs worldwide provide opportunities for language learning, educational travel, cultural exchange, and academic study for customers of all backgrounds and ages, helping them to become better citizens of the world. A career with EF combines the support and opportunity of a large organization with the spirit and energy of a small company. We look for thinkers and doers – creative, collaborative and motivated people who are excited by education, communication and travel.

    The team, culture and office

    You will be working in an international team with cross-functional skills covering areas like academics, design, development, and product management. Our teams adopt modern best practices such as a microservices architecture, continuous deployment and a Scrum-based Agile development approach.

    Located in Cambridge (Massachusetts), our hub attracts an international mix of bright, talented people. With open breakout areas, hidden nooks to think and beautiful outdoor patios, it has a relaxed but focused atmosphere that make it a typically "EF" space.
