Why join us?

  • Our company has been extremely successful and we were completely operational without any investments since 2015. We saw how explosive our platform was, and it wasn't until 2020 that we've decided to expand into other disciplines of study. With that said, we've partnered with The Chernin Group (TCG) to expand our team and infrastructure so that we can build an effective and easy-to-use platform for any discipline.

  • SketchyMedical has been in use for years by medical students and institutions. We guarantee if you have a friend in medical school right now and ask Do you know SketchyMedical?, they will tell you all about us!


Engineering at Sketchy

Engineering team and processes

Our engineering team works very closely with the product designers and subject matter experts on a daily basis. We use Agile Scrum with two week sprints. We strive for incremental development with constant feedback from internal team members and end-users. As an engineer, you are seen as an expert in role, so you will not only develop topnotch features but take part in the architecture design and code reviews.

Technical Challenges

Our users are from around the world. While our product can be used anywhere, we are constantly facing the challenge of how do we release an internet based product with as little bandwidth as possible? so that anyone, no matter where, can learn the material effective, easily, and without barriers.

Projects you might work on
  • We have plenty of projects in development right now and on the way. Our product thrives on the use of visuals. You may even be assigned to be a core developer on our XR projects.
