Position Summary
First and foremost, you are a pragmatic builder of products. You care about solving problems for a large variety of internal users through technology. You find joy in working closely with stakeholders throughout the company to help them achieve their goals. You prefer simplicity and maintainability to complexity in your approach to building software and you prefer done to perfect. We’re working every day to build and refine digital products that delight users and streamline business processes. Our products will help the company to scale effectively with its rapidly growing product lines that will ultimately allow us to put more books into kid’s hands. We see an opportunity to further leverage our tech stack by enabling broader use through AI toolsets. You will be responsible for scoping and delivering key elements of this approach.

Metrics the business already tracks improve because of something you built or, better yet, helped to enable.
Error rates, rework, and policy violations on AI-touched work stay flat or go down. You don’t trade quality for speed.
Named workflows get faster or need fewer people. You can show the before-and-after numbers.
People keep using what you ship, and customers on the receiving end would say it’s better. If they wouldn’t, it wasn’t a win.
