Who We Are

At d6 we are all about increasing the effectiveness of schools. We are passionate about improving the administrative and communication processes within schools, to increase their operational effectiveness and allow them to put their energy where it is needed most - in the classrooms!

What We Do

We develop software products to help the schools in their daily operations. Our products are developed on a pretty typical LAMP stack with all of the usual supporting technologies, but we do have a pretty cool configuration to provide scalability and resilience, including memcache, load balancing, replication and fail-over to make sure we are rock solid.

Our primary focus is on the following:

• A school administration system which provides all of the administrative functions that come with managing a school - capturing family and staff information, configuring the curriculum, recording marks, attendance & discipline, calculating progression & retention, generating report cards and other reporting, managing finances and communication. This is a fully integrated product with all of the various modules interacting to provide a seamless, holistic solution for the school.
• A stand-alone communication system which allows the schools to communicate directly with their parents via mobile and desktop clients.

We try to keep things as agile as possible, and work on a continuous release process to make sure we deliver the most value possible in the shortest time. We are always trying to improve what we do and how we do it, and the culture is inclusive - we are in this together and we should all be part of creating the solution and enjoying the journey.

Our Interview Process

1. Wamly application: Upload your details, complete a short skills test, and record a one-way video so we can get to know you better.

2. Screening call: A chat with our Tech Lead to discuss your background and ensure there’s strong values alignment, which is very important to us at d6.

3. Assessments: A technical challenge to see how you solve problems, plus a psychometric assessment to ensure a good person–role match.

4. Formal interview: A deeper conversation on your technical experience, communication, and values fit.

Our process is designed for intentional interaction, with no duplication - all to ensure a strong person–position fit and to set us up to create great solutions together!
