About Medley Learning

Medley is a software solution that fosters inclusive, rigorous classrooms. Medley allows a classroom of diverse learners to all access the same grade-level content, with scaffolds designed specifically for multilingual learners and students with disabilities. Teachers control what supports are provided, but Medley does the time-consuming work of scaffolding to match each student's needs.

This is AI done right : not creating lots of new low-quality content, but instead adding just-right supports to existing grade-level content. After a successful spring pilot, Medley is expanding to paid district partnerships this fall. We initially built it for 5 million multilingual learners, and are adding support for students with disabilities—ultimately helping 20%+ of K-12 students. Learn more at medleylearning.com.

  • AI & ML expertise : Deep understanding of LLM implementation, optimization, and cost management
  • Startup experience : Demonstrated experience at a startup or as a founder. Thrives in early-stage, ambiguous environments
  • Leadership : Can attract, mentor, and retain great engineers
  • Mission alignment : Passion for education equity and improving outcomes for underserved students
  • Preferred Backgrounds

  • Engineering leaders who've scaled products from early traction to significant adoption
  • AI / ML engineers who've optimized LLM costs and performance at scale
  • Chrome extension or browser-based application development experience
  • Full-stack proficiency with deep expertise in at least one area
  • Product development, management, and / or design experience a plus
  • Experience delivering student-facing or consumer-facing products at scale
