🏰 About Futurewhiz, Squla and StudyGo

Futurewhiz is an EdTech company 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. We’ve been a certified B Corp since 2020, which means we strive for a strong balance between purpose and profit.

🪄 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.
