Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world — at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.

We’re a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries. Our intelligent platform replaces traditional textbooks and combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data to help students and teachers thrive — from international schools to US high schools.

• 🌟 Contribute to product and process – From brainstorming to production, you'll help shape how we build and deliver AI-powered solutions.

• 📊 Drive tech excellence – Lead key improvements in both technology and processes that deliver real impact.
