We want everyone at SchoolAI to make a competitive wage, have fun, and do good. As we build out the team, we optimize for, and invest in, great people who:

• 🪄 Make Magic: You're making magic when you dream big, sweat the details, make the complex look elegant, and the final result is one that puts a smile on everyone's face. People are drawn to working with you and your work.
  
• ☀️ Rise to the Moment: You're rising to the moment when you show up, answer the call, make the extra effort, and appreciate the fact that we are working with the coolest technology, in the biggest space it’ll impact, and we’re in pole position.
  
• 🔗 Connect the Dots: You've done the work to prioritize, understand, and tie your work to your team, to students, and to the people who support them. You're driving tangible outcomes and can connect your work to meaningful, tangible business results and goals. You're connecting the dots when you've thought deeply and have a throughline narrative for your work.
  
• 🚀 Make High Leverage Bets: Always consider the board in front of you – using data, instinct, honed expertise, and user problems to pick the best move and maximize the impact of every resource. When the moment is right – go all in.
  
• ➡️ Simplify and Go: Cut through the noise. Focus on what’s essential and act with urgency. Speed is your ally, simplicity your tool. Embrace clarity and let it guide you to swift victories.

We use our core values to make decisions, evaluate work, and win. We expect that every team member demonstrate these values. In turn, we'll invest in you and your impact at SchoolAI.
