Menlo School was founded in 1915 and is one of the top independent schools in the country. We enroll just under 800 students in grades 6-12 and strive to offer them a safe environment where learning is engaging and fun. Menlo's campus is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, close to Caltrain, Stanford, and downtown Menlo Park.

We pride ourselves in being an inclusive workplace and offer true work/life balance to our employees.
Who are we looking for?
We're currently searching for a Senior Web Engineer who will maintain and continue to build out our homegrown information systems that improve the lives of students, teachers, parents, and alumni.

There's no teaching required for this position and Menlo invests heavily in your professional growth.
What's in it for you?
Your own private office (with a door for when you'd like to focus), flexibility on gear and software that makes you productive, competitive salary, generous retirement contributions (9% of salary + 3% match), generous time off and flexible work hours, free lunch while school is in session, a comprehensive benefits package, an on-campus child care center, fulfilling projects that have an immediate impact, opportunities for professional growth, no whiteboard coding, and much more.

SEEKING FREELANCER - SF Bay Area or Remote
Who are we looking for?
We would like to hire a competent and reliable freelancer with mostly frontend (but also some backend) skills who can help us with web design/development tasks on an on-going basis. Good communication skills are very important to us, especially if you work remotely and may only ever talk to us over email or phone. We'd like you to have a good eye for design (especially UX) and be able to create some well thought out frontend code (Bootstrap ok). This can turn into a steady stream of work and lots of potential referrals. We like independent thinkers who don't need to be micromanaged, but we gladly provide as much guidance as desired.
Who are we?
We're an elite private school (grades 6-12) in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our mission is to make learning engaging, joyful, and fun. We love technology and have some very competent hackers working for us. You would be working closely with our full-time web developer, a Hacker News reader who used to be a freelancer himself. We have a lot of exciting web projects coming up and could use someone's help to get us to completion faster.
Interested?
Great! Send us an email (instructions in profile) with the following info:
- your skills - link(s) to previous work/portfolio/github or whatever shows off your skills - your rates - your location
We're looking forward to hearing from you!
