Teams at Ignite Reading

Own the full-cycle sales process for small-to-mid-sized K-12 school districts, from prospecting and discovery through demos, proposals, contracts, and handoff to Customer Success.

Lead a small analytics team (staff data scientist + two analysts) to deliver curriculum, product, and program insights. Split time between people management (60-70%) and hands-on analysis (30-40%), advance experimentation and measurement, build AI/LLM-driven agentic workflows, manage sprints and cross-functional stakeholder relationships, and drive analytics that inform curriculum, product, and intervention strategies.

Leads DevOps and Data Engineering teams supporting AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, incident response, data platforms, and pipelines. Sets platform strategy, mentors engineers, guides architecture, and manages technical roadmaps. Owns SOC 2 audits and penetration testing, coordinates vendors and auditors, improves security and reliability, and coaches teams on validating AI-assisted development. This player-coach role requires hands-on technical contribution and cross-functional collaboration in a remote environment.
