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.

The Systems Engineering team supports tools and core services that provide a great product experience to our end-users and a great developer experience to our engineering teams. A typical day might start out looking for trouble and end with project plans and cross-functional collaborations that run a thorny problem to ground.

This role combines technical leadership with strategic impact, shaping Kiddom’s systems to grow each school year. You’ll work in languages from Go to TypeScript to Python, on technologies from web APIs to graph databases to edge computing and LLMs. You will have the opportunity to drive technical change across every team. You will help engineers around you do their best work using tools you select and build. Your outtie is exceptionally good at debugging null pointer exceptions.
