How we roll

Behind the scenes is a hardworking team with strong principles that evolve for every phase along the way.

Candor > Harmony

Say the hard thing when it needs saying, and do it with kindness.

Trust > Control

Trust people closest to the work, then back it up with context, alignment, and clear agreements.

Humanity > Heroism

Protect downtime and sustainable pace, because burnout isn’t a badge.

Finishing > Starting

Limit work in progress and take work all the way to users, because “almost done” is still not done.

Long Term Collaboration > Short Term Velocity

Agree on the problem before splitting it up, mob on the hard parts, and keep each other unblocked.

Fast Feedback > Perfect Releases

Get work in front of real people early — prototypes, dogfooding, experiments, metrics. Recovering fast matters more than never breaking.

Continuous Improvement > Continuous Output

Retros, post-mortems, and real time for tooling and docs. Improvement is scheduled work — “try harder next time” is not a strategy.

We're always hiring exceptional people to shape Dojo's future. Here are the roles we're actively hiring for.

Take it from our team

We're building a world where every child loves learning. Here is what it feels like from the inside.

Sahar B
“We serve millions of teachers and families with a small, focused team. Despite our scale, it somehow never feels chaotic or stressful, and that comes down to the people. Teammates here are genuinely kind, guilds actually function, and when you spot something broken or have a good idea, you raise it and people show up to help you fix it. The work matters, and so do you.”

“I love how passionate everyone is and how I'm always learning new things, but most of all, I love our work environment. People here care about your mental state and encourage you to keep it healthy. The bar is high, but it’s always a lot of fun. ClassDojo has improved me as an engineer and as a professional in so many ways.”

“There's a deep focus on ownership, emphasis on the full side of full-stack, and readiness to empower engineers to learn new things. Ownership focus spans an incredible range—from owning features with sophisticated & thoughtful monitoring to the ability to own technical realms. It is very easy & encouraged for an engineer to choose an area to level up in, and make company-wide improvements in that space.”

Our Approach to Mob Programming

Our teams at ClassDojo have the freedom to choose how they want to work. Many of our teams have started spending a few hours each day mobbing because we've found it to be an effective form of collaboration. Here's how we do it!

P1, P2,...P5 is a broken system: here's what we do instead

Software developers need to prioritize bugs when they are discovered, and most do this with an ordered priority scheme. Tracking tools like Jira provide a column on each ticket, and many organizations use numbers, such as P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5.

Why we don't do blocking pull requests

One aspect of our workflow that people often find odd or new to them is that we don’t require an up-front code review or pull request with signoff from another engineer before pushing to production. This often comes up in interviews or conversations with engineers who are interested in jobs at ClassDojo, with reactions ranging from curiosity to aversion.

Powered by lots of love

Millions of users, millions of smiles — here's a snippet of what teachers and families share every day.

A few weeks ago, I won an exciting giveaway from @classdojo. Of course, I had to record my students' adorable reaction — it was everything a teacher could wish for. Thank you so much, @ClassDojo — we love you more than dojo points!

This year I decided to have one big ClassDojo Store for the students to redeem their @classdojo points. The students used their Dojo Dollars to purchase books, erasers, pencils, etc. the kids were so excited, and the store was a huge success!

The area of my classroom that I'm most proud of is the Cool Down Corner! Each of my students have visited the cool down corner (some more than others) but it was never as a punishment. I loved that they felt comfortable asking to go there. I tried to make sure it was not a place of embarrassment. In order to play with the fidgets, practice yoga, or do any of the activities in the cool down corner, they had to complete a reflection sheet first detailing their feelings. All of my scholars were so vulnerable and conscious of their feelings. I'm happy that they trusted me with them.
