About ClassDojo

ClassDojo connects K-12 teachers with families. Free classroom communication, behavior tracking, and student portfolios. Used in 95% of US schools. Backed by General Catalyst, Y Combinator and Felicis.

About the role

Every feature ClassDojo ships begins with an engineer.

  • Developer Experience or Platform Engineering teams

  • CI/CD, release engineering, developer environments, or software delivery systems
  • AI-assisted software development or developer tooling
  • Engineering productivity measurement frameworks such as DORA or SPACE
  • High-growth engineering organizations where platform investments had organization-wide impact
More about this role

ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-12 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 45 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.
