About MagicSchool
What is MagicSchool?
MagicSchool is an AI platform built for schools. Its own about page says: "Founded in Denver, CO in 2023, MagicSchool is an AI platform built for schools." The homepage lists "80+ teacher tools" and "50+ student tools", and says its infrastructure is "SOC 2–certified and FERPA/COPPA-compliant". Its job adverts say "more than 7 million teachers from all over the world have joined our platform". Adeel Khan is the Founder & CEO, and the company has announced three funding rounds on its own blog: a $2.4M funding round on 23 August 2023, a $15M Series A on 6 July 2024 and a $45M Series B on 11 February 2025, "led by Valor Equity Partners, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Adobe Ventures, Atreides Management, and Smash Capital". The Series B post says the money is for growing the product and engineering teams and the customer experience team.
Where will I work?
MagicSchool describes itself as a remote team: "Work wherever you do your best thinking. We’re a remote team built on trust, collaboration, and clear communication." Every one of the nine adverts on its Ashby job board (12 November 2026, all in the United States) carries the line "Flexibility of working from home, while fostering a unique culture built on relationships, trust, communication, and collaboration with our team - no matter where they live." Of the eight full-time roles, five are listed as remote (including the Gulf Coast Account Executive: "This is a remote position with Alabama location preferred." with "Willingness to travel up to 50%."), two are based in Denver and listed as hybrid (the IT & Security director advert says "This position is hybrid, with an expectation of working onsite one day per week."), and the Director of Government Affairs & Policy is listed in Texas, with Washington DC, Florida and Virginia as further locations. The ninth role, a Professional Learning Facilitator, is a part-time contract position and sits outside the full-time benefits line. The company says it was founded in Denver; its privacy policy and terms give a Boulder, Colorado mailing address (a PMB private mailbox), and it publishes no office street address.
What is the MagicSchool team like?
The about page says "More than half of our team has worked in schools, from classrooms to leadership roles." The careers page adds: "While many of our team members come from education, we also have people from a range of backgrounds." The open roles on 12 November 2026 span marketing (Director, Digital Marketing; Integrated Campaigns Manager), sales (Account Executive), customer experience operations, trust and safety (an engineering role), accounting, IT and security, and government affairs. The adverts expect fluency with AI tools: the Accounting Manager advert says "Candidates should be comfortable leveraging AI tools, such as Claude, to streamline workflows and improve efficiency." and the Customer Experience Operations Manager advert asks for "Hands-on experience using LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to solve real operational problems, not just casual use". On staying connected as a remote company, the careers page says "As a remote-first team, we stay in close touch through Slack, regular team meetings, and thoughtful async communication." Hiring takes about 45 days for most roles: "Most roles move from first conversation to final decision within about 45 days, though timing can vary slightly depending on the role and scheduling."
Work-Life Balance
The careers page lists "Unlimited PTO" among its benefits: "Take the time you need, when you need it. Supporting educators is important work, and we believe rest and balance matter too." The adverts repeat it for full-time employees: "For full time employees: - Unlimited time off to empower our employees to manage their work-life balance. We work hard for our teachers and users, and encourage our employees to rest and take the time they need." All eight full-time adverts carry the line, across IT, customer success, marketing, engineering, finance, sales and government affairs; the ninth advert repeats the sentence but is a contract role, which the full-time line does not cover. No number of days and no public-holiday list is stated, and weekly hours and core hours are not stated either. The careers page says the remote team stays in touch through "regular team meetings" and "thoughtful async communication"; no flexible-hours or core-hours policy is stated.
