About the role

About KiddomKiddom is transforming K–12 education by bringing high-quality curriculum, instructional tools, and student analytics together in one coherent system. We are building Learning Intelligence Technology (LIT), a new category that gives educators the infrastructure to plan, teach, assess, and respond to student needs.

What We're Looking For:
  • 5–7+ years of professional software development experience

  • Strong ability to reason about AI system behavior, model limitations, and best practices for safe, reliable integration
  • Experience working with data pipelines, experiment evaluation, or model performance analysis
  • A collaborative, product-minded engineer who enjoys working directly with design and PM partners
  • Someone who embraces fast iteration, incomplete information, and continuous learning
  • An AI-native engineer who knows how to select, use, and apply AI tools effectively in both development and product experiences
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in CS or equivalent work experience
Nice to Have:
  • Experience integrating LLMs or ML systems into production applications
  • Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, or retrieval-augmented generationCI/CD experience (GitHub Actions or similar)

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
