About Flint
The best education anyone has ever received is one person paying close attention to one student: moving at their pace, noticing what they missed, asking the next question at the right moment. But the current system is built around a compromise with one teacher managing thirty students.
Flint exists to take that compromise off the table. Personalized learning, at the scale of a whole school — every student working with something closer to a tutor, and every teacher able to see what's actually happening across their class instead of guessing.

The Role
Students want something that stays with them, going at their pace and helps them get unstuck without just handing over the answer. Teachers want that happening inside a class they still control, and they'd like their evenings back. Admins want proof that the platform they rolled out is leading to teacher productivity and student progress.
Your job is to dive deep into this design problem, holding three sets of needs within one product. We’ll trust you to ship designs that are the best possible solution to our users most urgent pain points. tl;dr you'll get to own how Flint works and how it feels.
How We Work
- We move fast, and closely. You'll work with a small, senior team: one Product Lead, a Chief of Staff (Product), a CTO, and five engineers. We also have a running joke that we can’t keep up with our #product_updates channel because of how much we ship.
- Fast and good aren't in tension here. In our experience the fastest route to something good is getting a rough version in front of a real teacher early, which tends to be quicker than getting it right in private. Decisions with the highest impact have often happened within days, not month long sprints.
