About Kiddom
Kiddom is a groundbreaking educational platform that promotes student equity and growth by uniting high-quality instructional materials with dynamic digital learning. Through unparalleled curriculum management functionality, Kiddom empowers schools and districts to take ownership of their curriculum – resulting in learning experiences tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of local communities. Kiddom’s high-quality curriculum is layered with robust teacher and leader data insights to drive the continuous improvement of instructional decisions, school/district programming, and professional learning.
About the Team
Kiddom has a strong focus on high quality instructional materials. The Content Instructional Engineering team works with content authors and partners to ingest and optimize content within the Kiddom platform. The team of ingestion engineers and instructional designers (IDs) work together to automate ingestion of new curricula. Using a combination of ingestion tools and AI, engineers pull content from a variety of formats into a standardized Kiddom database, coordinating closely with instructional designers to get the best technical ingestion. Once in the platform, the IDs are able to further tweak and optimize the content for the most interactive and engaging teacher and student experience.
About the Role
We're looking for a thoughtful and strategic engineering leader to help us to further automate and refine our engineering processes across ingestion and optimization tooling. As we continue to scale our needs for quality curricula, we need to also scale and refine our team capabilities through automation, making sure we have a flexible, repeatable, and maintainable ingestion engine. As a manager on the engineering team, you’ll work closely with our VP of Engineering to execute on product and engineering projects, build out and support your engineering team, and help define Kiddom Engineering as we scale in these coming years.
