Front End Engineer

About Us

Math, like programming, deserves dedicated tools. Corca is a workspace for math exploration, creation, and collaboration: a collaborative editor for mathematics or an IDE for math. A place where you can work on math, without special training.

Despite being intuitively simple, Corca designed for rigorous scientific math. Users can create their own notations, rules, and objects, connecting math to data or models. You can even invent entirely new mathematical frameworks and watch them come to life. Corca is more than a tool—it’s a tool for creating tools.

It is a long road and we're early. So currently our main focus is to make a tool that is faster and simpler than paper. And you know, paper is a challenging competitor. At the same time, we are something that paper will never be able to implement—a computation layer allowing seamlessly solve symbolic expressions and run simulation.

Corca was set up as a fully remote company from the start. Today, our small, focused team is distributed across the US, Europe and Asia.
