More about this role

Kiddom 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. With Kiddom, educators spend less time managing administrative burden and more time delivering meaningful student instruction. Kiddom helps schools and districts deliver more equitable, effective, and adaptive learning experiences.

We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join Kiddom's Content & AI Systems team, building the data layer that powers next-generation AI-assisted curriculum authoring and content delivery. You'll own the pipelines, schemas, and validation frameworks that turn messy, domain-specific curriculum content into structured, AI-ready data products, working closely with Instructional Designers, AI engineers, and the Content Agents team.
