COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Mometrix Test Preparation was founded in 2002 with a simple vision: to help test-takers cut through all of the fluff and distractions in order to get to the heart of exactly what it takes to succeed on the exam. We watched helplessly as too many of our well-qualified friends and relatives struggled to get into the school of their choice, or earn the certification necessary to get or keep a job, simply because they didn’t test well. We decided there must be a better way to prepare, so we made it our mission to give test-takers exactly what they need in order to maximize their potential. Our goal is for our study materials, coupled with diligent effort, to empower a test-taker to attain the highest score within their ability to achieve. We help people achieve their dreams by helping them overcome the testing hurdles necessary for them to get to where they want to be.
Our materials are available on every major digital platform and are distributed worldwide. Every year, millions of test-takers utilize Mometrix materials, including free online resources, study guides, flashcards, digital content, and apps for the web and smartphone.
We also have the largest catalog of any test preparation publisher, now offering over 3,500 products covering more than 1,500 different standardized exams. Keeping up with the constant changes in the many different exam markets we cover, our product development team averages more than 100 product updates each week. Mometrix study materials comprise a collection of over 174 million words, larger than the entire print history of TIME Magazine.
Mometrix is a privately-owned company based in the southeast Texas metropolitan area, with printing and distribution facilities in Tyler County, Texas. An A+ member of the BBB since 2003, we research, develop, produce and retail our test preparation products to test-takers all over the world. Our products are developed by experts in each test’s field of study to ensure the highest quality, most relevant content possible. We take very seriously that our customers trust us to give them the information they need in order to perform well on the exam and select only the highest qualified writers using a rigorous application process. 
If you think you’d be a good fit for this role, please submit your resume; don’t forget to include any relevant experience or qualifications.
*This is a CONTRACTOR position open to anyone working in the US remotely.

Our Stack at Bound
We work mostly in JVM based languages (Kotlin and Java). However, languages can be learned. What is important to us is that you have strong software engineering fundamentals, rather than your knowledge of particular frameworks or languages.
 
Languages: Java &amp; Kotlin
Persistence: Postgres
Architecture: RESTful and event-driven microservices
Infrastructure: We're hosted on AWS, and make extensive use of, amongst others, SQS, SNS, S3, ECS, Aurora, CloudFormation, CloudFront and CloudWatch
Processes: We believe continuous delivery is essential for moving safely at speed, so we deploy all changes to production automatically after running extensive automated tests
 
Our Interview Process
 
We’re pretty flexible with our interview process, so we’re happy to have some of these interviews back-to-back if it suits you. Just ask!
 
1. Quick call with our recruiting team.
2. 60 minute call with the hiring manager to dig into the job’s responsibilities as well as your experience.
3. Your option of  a take-home task or a live-coding session with focus on real-world problems - we do not like synthetic algorithms or data-structure focused interviews. Architecture interview.
4. Meet with Dan or Seth, one of the co-founders of Bound! Use this as your time to ask us questions about the business, or what it might be like to work at Bound!
5. We make you an offer!
