About Noon:
Noon's mission is to radically change the way people learn, focusing on the Middle East region where the company has its roots, and where the need and the urgency to improve education is highest. We aspire to run a network of schools taught by a network of top teachers in the region, and to accomplish this we need to build new technology that enables top teachers to effectively teach our students even if they are not physically present at the school. We come from diverse backgrounds and work across four timezones. At the same time we recognize that small teams sitting together can move a lot faster than those that work remotely, and hence we're building up our engineering presence in our London office.
