Build the next generation education platform
Allakando is one of Sweden’s largest education companies and the fastest growing company for private tutoring, courses and digital educational tools. Our mission is to accelerate people's growth - academically as well as personally - and our learning solution is a blend between classic in-person tutoring and online learning tools.
Our product range also contains the largest nanny agency in the country - myNanny - and on top of that we are currently scaling Allakando to France.
At the heart of Allakando, lies our next generation educational platform. This is where we need your help in boosting our tech team! One example feature from the platform is Sweden's first and only AI-teacher. It's completely free for everyone and you can try it out here. 🚀
We could not be more excited about working at the forefront of tech, education and AI development right now. The possibilities are endless!
Team and Technology
Allakando’s technology stack focuses heavily on Next.js and modern web development standards with a strong focus on technology agnosticism. This allows us to have a tight and concentrated dev team that can create a lot of value. The team consists of 3 skilled full-stack developers and our CTO, all working in Lund.
We deploy our services and applications through serverless containers in GCP. For our front-end we have developed our own design system that is implemented through a library of web components, utilities and stylesheets. For building our applications we primarily use React, Next.js and Node.js.
Our office is situated on the entire second floor of Lund’s station building. We offer a hybrid-solution with a high degree of flexibility where you can either work on-site here at the office or up to 2-3 days per week remotely.
