## Job description

## About Kira Learning

We live in a world where technology is rapidly changing the educational experiences of students and teachers everywhere, and we have the opportunity to shape how this change takes place. It is Kira Learning’s mission to harness transformative AI technologies to make world-class teaching and learning accessible to everyone.

Kira is a rapidly growing startup backed by top-tier Venture Capital funds including New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Andrew Ng’s AI Fund.

## About this role

We’re looking for a sharp, fast-moving Product Manager to join the Kira team and lead the evolution of our core platform experience. This is a high-impact role at a high-growth, mission-driven company reshaping the $32B education LMS space with AI-powered tools for teachers and learners.

You’ll work on foundational product experiences that define how users interact with Kira - from onboarding to daily workflows - shipping intuitive, high-leverage features that drive engagement and long-term value. We're looking for someone who has shipped a lot of product, ideally at a B2C or prosumer company, and thrives in a fast-paced, iterative environment. You should bring strong product sense, a bias for action, and a deep understanding of what it takes to build products that people love to use.

Experience with growth or community-oriented features is a strong plus, though your primary focus will be on building a seamless, scalable, and joyful core user experience.

## Responsibilities & Duties

- Define and deliver product improvements that enhance usability, engagement, and value across the user journey
- Partner closely with design and engineering to ship clean, high-quality experiences quickly and iteratively
- Conduct user research and synthesize insights to deeply understand user needs and pain points
- Use data and user feedback to prioritize features and validate product decisions
- Collaborate with GTM and customer success teams to ensure product features support user success and retention
- Help lay the foundation for scalable platform patterns, frameworks, and systems
- Bring structure and focus to ambiguous problem areas while moving fast

Experiences & Skills

- 4-6 years of product management experience, with a strong track record shipping features at a fast-paced B2C, prosumer, or SaaS company
- Strong product intuition and UX sensibility - you know what good looks like and how to get there
- Ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality, balancing iteration speed with thoughtful product decisions
- Experience working across the full product development lifecycle, from ideation to launch to iteration
- Skilled communicator who can align stakeholders and drive clarity across teams
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to independently drive high-leverage initiatives
- Bonus: Experience with product-led growth, onboarding flows, or community-driven features

Background Check: Kira Learning will make a conditional job offer in line with local, state and federal laws, and a subsequent criminal, education, and employment history background check will then be issued.

Equal Employment Opportunity Employer: At Kira Learning, we are committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy (including childbirth, lactation and related medical conditions), national origin, age, physical and mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information (including characteristics and testing), military and veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by applicable law. Kira believes that diversity and inclusion among our employees are critical to our success as a company, and we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool. Selection for employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.

## About Kira Learning.com

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Kira Learning is an AI-native K-12 operating system that unifies instruction, assessment, intervention, and curriculum creation into one end-to-end platform, replacing the fragmented tool stack schools traditionally rely on.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Venture-backed; Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States (offices also in San Francisco and New York City)
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Not publicly available

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Education Technology (K-12)
- **Target customers**: K-12 school districts, schools, and teachers (B2B, primarily Enterprise/Government)
- **Mission statement**: “To harness transformative AI technologies to make world-class teaching and learning accessible to everyone.”

## Products & Services
- **Kira Platform (AI-powered Learning OS)**: An integrated system that replaces the typical K-12 edtech stack. It includes:
  - **Lesson Studio & Course Studio**: Generate full, standards-aligned courses and lessons in minutes.
  - **Assessment & Mastery**: Continuous mastery tracking with automated grading and feedback (e.g., QuickGrader for essay scoring).
  - **Intervention & MTSS**: Identify gaps and automate targeted support within instruction.
  - **Multilingual & Special Populations**: Adapt instruction for ELL, IEP, and diverse learners without lowering expectations.
  - **Career & Workforce Pathways**: Modern CTE and AI pathways for high school students.
  - **Flexible Learning Models**: Support for virtual, hybrid, and credit recovery programs.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: **Total Funding** – $22.5M raised across three rounds (Pre-Seed $1.5M, Seed $6M, Series A $15M). Annual Revenue estimated at ~$1M (private company data point).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Andrew Ng’s AI Fund (lead investors in all rounds)
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 89.8% YoY to ~59 employees; expanding beyond original CS focus to all subjects; working with leading districts across the US; actively hiring across product, engineering, sales, and operations roles (15+ open positions).

## Competitive Advantages
- **End-to-end unification**: Unlike point AI assistants, Kira replaces the entire teaching/learning tech stack, reducing tool sprawl and operational overhead.
- **Built-in differentiation at scale**: Lessons and assessments automatically adapt for diverse learners (IEP, ELL, interventions) without requiring teachers to recreate materials.
- **Compliant by design**: FERPA and COPPA compliant; student data remains under district control; teacher review and control over all content.
- **Interoperability**: Works alongside existing LMSs (Clever, ClassLink) and district infrastructure, allowing gradual adoption or full replacement.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale adoption across K-12 districts, moving beyond early CS niche to all subjects and grade levels.
- Deepen AI capabilities for personalized learning and automate administrative burden.
- Build out enterprise sales motion and partner ecosystem to drive district-wide deployments.
- Continue headcount growth in engineering, AI/ML, product, and go-to-market teams.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a team of “designers, engineers, educators, and operators” who are “builders at heart” with a relentless focus on quality and impact. Strong emphasis on moving fast and executing with excellence.
- **Hybrid/Office**: Offices in San Francisco and New York City. Some roles (e.g., VP of Operations) are listed as on-site in the Bay Area. Likely flexible/hybrid for other positions.
- **Growth Stage**: Rapidly growing startup backed by top-tier VCs (NEA, AI Fund) with significant headcount expansion. Opportunity to shape early processes and product direction.
- **Reviews**: 4.1/5.0 on LinkedIn (41 reviews); culture rated 4.1, career opportunity rated 4.3 – indicating strong satisfaction with growth and mission.
- **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but typical early-stage startup perks (equity, healthcare, flexible time off) can be inferred from job descriptions.
