WHO WE ARE:

The Modern Classrooms Project is a fast-growing 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers educators to build classrooms that respond to every student’s needs. Founded by two award-winning teachers, we lead a movement of educators in implementing a self-paced, mastery-based instructional model that leverages technology to foster human connection, authentic learning, and social-emotional growth.
To date, our free online course and Virtual Mentorship Program have empowered almost 100,000 educators in 150+ countries. We’ve partnered with schools and districts nationwide to train and support both teachers and administrators, and researchers from Johns Hopkins University found “overwhelming positive support” for our approach. We are an ambitious, idealistic team and we are passionate about what we do.

As our first technical hire and Head of Engineering, you will report directly to MCP’s Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, and work closely with MCP’s CEO and Product Team. While you’ll start out as an individual contributor, our plan is for you to build a small, high-quality tech team over time.

In the short term, you will:

• Oversee and contribute to the design and development of products currently being built by contractors, both to develop excellent products and to ensure that these products fit together.
• Establish and maintain MCP’s technical infrastructure, including architecture, development, and deployment of core platforms and tools, while ensuring data security, privacy, and compliance.

As our tech products evolve, you will:

• Help MCP develop and execute a product roadmap for the tech tools we are building, including scoping new features and building initial prototypes.
• Determine the team structure required to achieve MCP’s product-development goals, then build and mentor a high-performing engineering team accordingly.

You’ll spend your days making sure that Modern Classroom educators have the tools they need to provide self-paced, mastery-based instruction effectively and efficiently.
