About the Team & Opportunity
The Classroom Experience team at Clever builds the digital gateway to the classroom. As the Engineering Manager, you will lead the team responsible for our most visible products, including the Clever Portal—the daily starting point for millions of students and teachers. We are hiring a leader to help us expand our reach from the classroom into new frontiers like browser extensions and beyond, including future explorations of resource access outside our core products. This is a high-impact leadership role where you will manage the execution of our most visible user-facing products, hire and develop world-class engineering talent, and ensure that our technical strategy continues to provide simple, secure access to learning for everyone.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- The problem you’ll solve: You will lead the team that scales our primary classroom user interfaces, connecting users to their learning applications through interfaces that work for kindergarteners in the classroom, through to administrators in the central office, and ensuring that the experience remains robust, delightful, and lightning-fast.
- Who you’ll partner with: You will be a key strategic partner to Product, Design, and Marketing to define our roadmap, while working alongside other Engineering Managers to drive organizational best practices.
- What success looks like: Success is a high-performing, inclusive team that delivers reliable, business-critical software, meets 99.98%+ uptime targets, and fosters a culture of continuous mentorship and professional growth.
- Key projects you’ll lead: You will drive the execution of accessible UIs and next-generation APIs that drive expanded, simple, and secure access to learning applications.

- AI Development Tools: Familiarity with leveraging AI coding tools (such as Claude Code or Cursor) to enhance development workflow, productivity, and code quality.
- Cultural Alignment: A commitment to understand and prioritize the Clever engineering culture (see our blog post on Defining Clever's Engineering Culture).
