Position Overview

ClassDojo's mission is to give every child on Earth an education they love. We began by establishing a robust communication network, with our flagship app being the leading global communication tool for K-12 teachers, children, and families.

The app is used in over 95% of US schools, reaching more than 45 million children in 180 countries, supported by a team of approximately 200 individuals.

We are building a company where top talent thrives and pioneers the future of education.
