Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world - at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.
We’re a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries. Our intelligent platform replaces traditional textbooks and combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data to help students and teachers thrive, from international schools to US high schools.
Why join Kognity?
Work on problems that matter – Your work directly influences the lives of teachers and students in over 100 countries. The scale is global, and the outcomes are tangible.
High ownership, high expectations – You will be trusted to take initiative, make decisions and drive outcomes. Responsibility comes early, accountability is real, and results matter.
A fast-moving, high-performing team – You will work with smart, driven colleagues across the globe on complex problems. Standards and expectations are high, feedback is direct, and the pace is fast.
Continuous growth is the baseline – Everyone is expected and supported to learn quickly, improve constantly and raise their own bar. If you enjoy responsibility, momentum and meaningful challenge, you will thrive here.
What you’ll do:
Build and ship full-stack features in Python and TypeScript that meaningfully shape how teachers and students use the product at scale.
Design and evolve robust systems using proven patterns, APIs, ORMs, caching and testing, with a strong emphasis on correctness, performance and durability.
Continuously simplify and strengthen the codebase, removing unnecessary complexity and raising the engineering bar over time.
Own problem spaces end-to-end, from defining the technical approach to delivering high-quality software at speed.
What we’re looking for:
Proven experience building impactful software in a fast-moving product environment.
Full-stack capability with TypeScript and at least one server-side language such as Python, Ruby, or Node.js.
A strong track record of owning projects end-to-end, from idea to delivery.
Deep care for writing clear, maintainable, and well-structured code that scales with the product.
A curiosity for AI and a drive to experiment with new tools to enhance creativity, decisions, and execution.
