USATestprep, LLC is the nation’s #1 teacher-trusted provider of curriculum resources and test prep for grades 3-12. Founded by two teachers in 1998, the company helps teachers prepare more than two million students annually for subject area end-of-grade, end-of-course, and college entrance assessments. The platform delivers standards-aligned content with daily tools for the creation of formative and summative assessments, progress monitoring, and customized remediation. Teachers using USATestprep are able to quickly identify student strengths and weakness for high-stakes testing in ELA, math, science and social studies.
Our small R&D team is looking for a mid-level to senior full-stack developer who is passionate about technology making a meaningful impact in students’ lives and eager to find new ways to better serve our customers and make our platform excellent for the long-term. We are in need of someone who can work across the stack, with bonus points if you have extensive experience rearchitecting legacy applications.
Our current platform is a well-travelled PHP/MySQL application, so much of the initial work will be focused on building out new features and maintaining the system. Looking ahead to Q4 2020 and 2021, we plan to introduce micro-services and fundamentally rework our application and user experiences.
We’re a fun team that very much embodies the “For Teachers, By Teachers” spirit of our founders, and we care deeply, now more than ever, about providing the best resources for teachers and students.

I'd love to hear more about your move to Europe. Did you move for a job and have an employer help out with the red tape, or did you work out another path? Having spent about a year in Europe backpacking during my college days (on $10k, no less), finding a means to make it a full-time experience would be great.
EDIT: I assumed you are/were a citizen of the US and shouldn't have.
Yes, I am a US citizen. In a nutshell, I took all of my overtime and vacation in that year of working full-time and went to Guatemala to study Spanish and met a German girl ... that was September of 2001, so a pretty nutty time in the US, and it seemed like a good excuse to try something different.
I had a job with a startup lined up, which fell through, and then ended up getting hired by the SAP LinuxLab who sponsored my visa (roughly equivalent to a H1-B), so I went back to the US for a couple weeks, packed up my stuff, shipped it over and well, stayed. 6 years (and one job) later I got permanent residence, which meant I was no longer bound to having a company sponsor my visa, and a couple months later quit my job to found Directed Edge.
The convenient upshot of that is that now, at 28, I'm permitted to live and work anywhere in the US or EU.
