Inside TPT

TPT is more than a platform — it's a community. "To remind us of the impact we are making on our teacher community, we even have a Slack channel where we share feedback from our educators," said Jillian Silver, an engineering manager. For TPT team members, some of whom are former educators themselves, the company provides a chance to make a mark on the business — while supporting teachers in classrooms across the country.

Discover your dream job

Silver was not familiar with a tech lead role when she started at TPT as a Senior SWE 3 years ago, but when she saw the impact it had on developing products and teams, she knew it would be the right fit. To ensure she was ready when a position opened up, she created custom OKRs with her manager. With support from tech leads and the resources to level up on systems architecture, she quickly grew into the position, solving people and technical problems. Jillian has since been promoted to engineering manager, utilizing her experience to lead an innovative team of engineers.

Engineering Manager

TPT doesn't expect us to be on a straight and narrow path when it comes to our careers. I personally don't have it all figured out, so I am happy to know TPT will be there while I do.

JOIN A COMMUNITY

Where individuals can spark real change

Randi Gray

Senior IT Manager

Gray, who is a member of resource groups for women, Black employees and parents, has seen the outsized contributions these groups have had on the company culture. Whether celebrating Kwanzaa and Galentine's Day or pushing the needle forward on D&I initiatives, Gray said TPT's ERGs "allow us to share our unique experiences, be our authentic selves and build a community that has contributed to a culture of honest communication."

Being a part of TPT’s ERGs has reminded me that my purpose is higher than me. I am a part of a community that can move the needle forward with respect to guiding business decisions by being able to provide a perspective that promotes more inclusivity.

INNOVATION WITH IMPACT

Tackle complex challenges to change lives

Raptor Dzuricsko’s role at TPT is a multifaceted one. In addition to coding, debugging and troubleshooting, he’s currently working on making the team’s software delivery and rollbacks more reliable, transparent and effective — which will ultimately offer a better experience to educators. While there are many reasons why technologists should be excited to join Dzuricsko’s team, he said it all boils down to three key factors: “cool open-source tooling and features, having a significant impact on making teachers’ lives easier and working with thoughtful people.”
