Rockstar is recruiting for a fast-growing education technology company that combines AI technology with expert support to solve the complex problem of school master scheduling. Their platform helps schools create optimized schedules that save educators' time, unlock staff potential, and improve student access to courses. The company is experiencing rapid growth and serves districts and charter organizations across 24+ states.

Who They Are

School scheduling is a hard problem, one that technology was meant to solve. Yet for decades, the master schedule has been built by hand, consuming educators' valuable time while delivering a sub-optimal result for students. The company started to build the tool they wish they had when they were in schools. And today, they are changing how schools create high quality schedules for teachers and students. The company combines groundbreaking AI technology with support from a team of expert school schedulers: saving schedulers' time, and surfacing opportunities for leaders to unlock staff potential. The company delivers optimized master schedules that are more efficient, accommodate diverse educator needs, and enable student access to courses and pathways that impact their lives.

Their district and school partners agree: scheduling is a key opportunity for educational innovation, and that the company is the indispensable partner in addressing the challenge. They're experiencing exciting growth as a company, while doubling down on their mission and people-centered approach to leveraging powerful technology. They serve districts and charter school organizations across 24+ states, growing (and renewing) at rates that lead the education technology industry. This growth has been driven by their strong product-market fit, deep understanding of education, and commitment to customer success.
