Where a child is born determines the quality of their education, which, in turn, has a direct effect on long-term life opportunities. This just doesn’t feel fair.
KaiPod Learning is on a mission to build a brand new learning model by blending high-quality online education with in-person support. We are creating a network of in-person microschools where students learn at their own pace using a digital curriculum, get in-person academic support from an educator, and socialize with their peers.
Our students tell us KaiPods are fun and highly effective without the stresses of traditional school; parents tell us they love the chance to choose the right curriculum for their child and have greater visibility into their learning journey.
The name, KaiPod, comes from the Greek word kairos meaning “the right time to act.” After the pandemic, millions of parents are saying this is the right time for them to act and choose a better learning environment for their child. We are the fastest-growing national network of microschools with sites in Arizona, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Jersey. Learn more about our company here.
We are backed by YCombinator and several other top venture firms.
We grew 14x after our first year and are poised for even faster growth in the years to come. We plan to support tens of thousands of learners in the next 3-5 years.
To enable all of that growth, we need to build the technology platform that supports students, parents, educators, and our central team. You will be the first technical hire we make to take us on this journey.
As the Founding Engineer, you will:
As we build out this functionality, KaiPod will accelerate our investment in technologies such as AI and machine learning to analyze student learning and develop recommendations on how best to impact student achievement.
Your work will directly help transform the lives of tens of thousands of students across our national network. We want you to feel motivated – and maybe even a bit daunted – by this mission and scope.
This is a highly strategic role with a rapidly growing company. We are looking for someone who loves to grab the reins on new problems, thinks creatively about new strategies, and can’t wait to roll up their sleeves and build.
More specifically, we are looking for candidates with:
Our team (along with our network of learning locations) is spread across the country. You can choose to live anywhere in the US.
