About Informed K12

Informed K12 builds workflow automation solutions that transform how school districts operate. You'll work on a platform that digitizes routine forms, automates critical business processes, and tracks approval workflows across departments. This work matters because it frees up educators and administrators from fragmented, inefficient, paper-based systems, allowing them to focus on student outcomes. Informed K12 helps hundreds of school districts manage finances, HR, and operations more efficiently, directly impacting the ability to hire teachers faster, manage bus routes, and ensure timely payments.

How We Work

Informed K12 is a remote-first company with employees across the country. They prioritize building a diverse and inclusive environment, actively challenging conventional hiring practices to create a team that reflects the diversity of the districts they serve. Community building is important, with virtual lunches and regional meetups fostering connection. The culture is described as genuine, collaborative, and supportive, where team members are willing to assist, learn, and support each other. Over 65% of the team has a background in education, activism, or social causes, and 60% volunteer as mentors, tutors, or foster care providers.

Engineering at Informed K12

As an engineer at Informed K12, you'll tackle the challenge of building a powerful workflow and reporting platform flexible enough for hundreds of unique approval processes, yet easy for anyone to use—from a Chief Business Officer to a custodian. You'll craft backend models that support thousands of unique forms and processes, allowing for scalability and efficient data retrieval across the entire system. The team focuses on building tools that seamlessly integrate with existing ERP systems like Skyward, PowerSchool, and Frontline, enhancing rather than replacing core functionalities. This means solving complex, real-world approval challenges that traditional systems often can't handle.
