The technical landscape of Scribbr

The technical side of Scribbr can be roughly divided into three categories: Houston, the marketing website, and tools.

Houston is the epicenter of Scribbr. Here a team of 6 developers works on the management system where all orders, customers, and operations come together. Main techniques used: Symfony & Vue.

With more than 7,500,000 visitors per month (and increasing!) and a team of 13 marketers, the marketing website is developed in WordPress.

The tools, such as the Citation Generator and the Citation Checker, have been developed with different techniques (including Vue and React) with a strong focus on the front-end.

You will be working on the latter (tools, tools, and more tools)!

Who will you be working with?

We're enthusiastic, we're international, and we love to celebrate success! We work together to ensure that students are delighted with our services and that Scribbr keeps on growing.

You will interact with everyone in the company and with the smart PHP development team, but most often with these awesome people:

A Bright Future

Do you think working for a startup is fun, but full of uncertainty and risks? At Scribbr you can put your hesitations aside!

We founded our company seven years ago and we have been profitable from the beginning. We don’t have any investors or debts, so no short-term thinking and no unrealistic targets.

Our team is our family. It is the most important part of our company. At Scribbr we grow together and support one another’s development.

We pride ourselves on Scribbr’s stability, sustainability, and teamwork. Join us and experience the fun!

Cheers,

Koen & Bas - Scribbr Founders 🚀🎓
