What Is Curipod?

Curipod is the AI-powered curriculum platform for teacher-paced lessons that get students to look up from their screens and talk. We are on a mission to give teachers and students a reason to show up to class and learn together.
What that means:
We combine the best of LLM systems engineering and curriculum prompt engineering. We’re the only AI company building complex AI workflows into our product with a pedagogical basis.
Curipod lessons get the most disengaged students to care about what’s happening in class. We do this through a mix of deceivingly simple interactive tools, plus curriculum that’s tailored to each classroom but scaled to millions of students.
We anticipate teachers’ and students’ every need to craft delight at every step. Beautiful interactive presentations and WYSIWYG editing, not flimsy lesson plans. Intentional AI feedback on writing and multimedia work, not out-of-the-box chatbots. RAG-based student reports for every lesson to track progress over time, not another disjointed wrapper.
We ship to production daily, and Curipod always works for every subject, every grade, and in every language in the US and around the world.
We’re already making it happen:
10 million (+ counting) students engaged
Over 1 million students per month
600k+ teachers on the platform
Product- and community-led growth
Backed by top tier SF EdTech investor, Reach Capital
One of the fastest growing EdTech startups in the world
We are in hustling mode. We ship fast and work late while building the first platform for AI-native lesson creation and delivery. We are looking for passionate people who want to build something teachers and students love to use. Curious? See what teachers are saying.
Fun fact: Our first angel investment came from an investor whose daughter came home from school one day and said, “Dad! Today we did something which was much more fun and interesting than Kahoot. We did a Curipod!”

Responsibilities

You’ll shape the user experience. From messy early ideas to polished interfaces, you’ll design delightful experiences for teachers and students, so Curipod feels like it was made exactly for them.
You’ll own your work from first sketch to millions of users. This includes defining the problem, iterating internally and with users to shape the concept, and delivering elegant, high-impact user experiences to Curipod.
You’ll ship to a passionate, fast-growing group of educators. You’ll work with a global group of educators who care deeply about providing their best for their students every day. They expect the best from the tool that powers their main instruction.
You’ll build complex AI-powered features and workflows. AI is redefining what learning experiences can be done in the classroom. You’ll work with the curriculum team and founders to implement our vision of collaborative, competitive, fun, and rigorous AI-native lessons to power learning outcomes for millions of students every month.
You’ll lead and collaborate across disciplines. You make things happen. Whether in a solo project or leading a small team, you’ll be collaborating with design, business, and curriculum to make ideas real.

Skills

Strong product and UX instincts, obsessed with crafting intuitive, elegant solutions.
Solid frontend development skills, able to build sophisticated and performant WYSIWYG / drag-and-drop interfaces.
Energized by ambiguity, able to take initiative to shape product direction as well as implementation details.

Minimum of 5 years of frontend engineering experience.
Desire to work in a fast-paced environment, continuously grow, and master your craft.

Qualities

Empathy: We want every student to participate. We don’t settle if 29 of 30 do. Building something that resonates with every student is hard. Without empathy, we will never get there. Plus, we like nice people!
Curiosity: Curious people drive the world forward. They question established truths, learn fast, and are incredibly fun to work with. We meet new people and approach every challenge with curiosity.
Growth mindset: You thrive in a context of rapid changes, always eager to learn new things. You consider failing fast as an opportunity to learn and share your learning's with your team.
