We're building the smartest way to master backend development by tackling the hardest problem with e-learning: boredom. We're a small team of developers who love to make the process of learning as fun and hands-on as it can be.
None at the moment! Check back later please!

We don't know you yet, but if you're going to enjoy working with us, you'll probably have some of the following traits:
- You love to teach and share your knowledge with others
- You like to hang out in Discord
- You enjoy working remotely most of the time
- You like to build with the latest technologies and aren't afraid to learn new things
- You get stuff done when no one is looking
- You relentlessly ship projects that you're proud of
- You're a good writer and can explain complex topics in simple terms
- You love video games. Bonus points for DotA, Starcraft, World of Warcraft or Age of Empires
- You love a good fantasy story. Bonus points for Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and The Stormlight Archive
- We grew roughly 10x in 2023
- Boot.dev was originally a side project, but we're now a full-time team of 6.
- We raised $330,000 dollars from an angel investor, but are now profitable and have a nice buffer of cash in the bank.
- We do not have plans to raise more money. We want to grow responsibly and build a sustainable business that provides value to our students.
- We like to play. We play video games, magic the gathering, eat together when possible and even take trips together when we hit our goals.
- We don't have plans to quickly sell the company or go public. It could happen, but it's more likely that we'll distribute profits to the team and owners.
