💰 $55M Series C - Brightwheel on 2021-02

Education • SaaS • B2B

brightwheel is an all-in-one childcare and early education management platform that helps preschools, childcare centers, in-home caregivers, camps, Montessori programs and multisite operators manage billing and payments, enrollment and admissions, attendance and check-in, staff scheduling and payroll, family communication, curriculum and assessments, CACFP/health checks, and reporting via a mobile-first SaaS app used by administrators, teachers, and parents.

📋 Description

• Own outcomes end-to-end. Take responsibility for turning high-leverage opportunities into shipped, adopted capabilities with clear measurement, iteration loops, and sustained improvement—not one-time launches. • Define the AI technical direction for your organization. • Drive build-versus-buy decisions. Recommend when to partner on models and tooling versus when to build differentiated capabilities. • Lead by implementation. Rapidly prototype and ship reference implementations to prove feasibility. • Help build the paved highway. Contribute shared foundations—evaluation harnesses, retrieval and context patterns, safety guardrails, observability, and developer experience. • Raise the bar across your organization. Mentor senior and staff engineers, lead design reviews for your teams, and help establish standards for quality and safety.

🎯 Requirements

• Foundational AI Depth: You possess deep intuition for why models fail, gained from experience that predates the LLM boom. • 8+ Years of Engineering Excellence: You have end-to-end ownership of large, business-critical systems. • Architectural Strategy: Experience formulating architectural strategy at the organization level. • Mentorship and Hiring: A track record of mentoring senior and staff engineers and improving their skills, knowledge, and ability to get things done. • Production AI at Scale: A proven track record of shipping AI-powered products to production. • Nice-to-haves: Experience earlier in your career with model training, fine-tuning, classical machine learning, or natural language processing.

🏖️ Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage • Generous paid parental leave • Flexible PTO so you can recharge when you need it • Local retirement or savings plans (e.g., 401(k) in the U.S.)
