🏰 About Futurewhiz, Squla and StudyGo

For nearly 15 years, Futurewhiz has been the market leader in EdTech in the Netherlands. Our brands – including Squla and StudyGo – help children and teenagers aged 3 to 18 learn and grow at their own level and pace. Our mission is clear: "Empowering every child to grow." We’ve been a certified B Corp since 2020, which means we strive for a strong balance between purpose and profit.

Squla is a popular educational brand among (primary school) children, parents and teachers. Every day, more than 160,000 children at home and more than half a million children play the best games and quizzes at school in the classroom. Our mission? Helping children progress through play! We do this by staying close to children's experiences. And to use gaming elements, attractive UX designs and current, changing content.

StudyGo (formerly WRTS) is the go-to online platform for secondary school students to prepare for exams. From vocabulary practice and assignments to chatting with tutors and attending group lessons, we offer a comprehensive toolkit to help students succeed. With over 650,000 annual users, StudyGo has become one of the key digital platforms for secondary education.

🪄Our new platform

Every teacher wants to inspire their students with strong lessons and effective practice exercises. In reality, however, creating these takes a lot of time and energy. That’s why we put all our expertise and experience to work to support teachers, so they can focus on what truly matters: high-quality education.

Through our work, we contribute to our mission to help every child grow. You will become part of a driven and dedicated team with one clear focus: assisting teachers to develop lesson presentations, create practice materials, review student work, and everything that comes with it.

We have ambitious goals and are therefore looking for a Frontend Software Developer. Would you like to continue building our beautiful, innovative platform together with us? Then read on!
