We’re building the first mobile platform for early education – a $60B market in the US alone – with the largest network of schools and providers across the globe. Based in San Francisco, Denver, & Austin, our team is passionate, talented, and customer-focused. We feel fortunate to be able to build a platform that has a measurable impact on the daily lives of teachers, parents, and kids. The team includes former Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn, Square, and Zynga staffers, and investors include GGV Capital, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Eniac, ICONIQ, Bessemer Ventures, and Mark Cuban.

We are seeking a driven Senior Data Engineer to empower our stakeholders to leverage data to make critical business decisions and expand on our product offering. We want to build and scale our data systems to meet the various real-time, near real-time, and batch needs of today, while building in flexibility for the emergent needs of tomorrow.
