Lit is on a mission to ensure that every kid, everywhere is a reader. To achieve our mission, we need every Lit teammate, everywhere to be a passionate, values-aligned leader. Our team is what makes Lit, Lit. So, we’re building a workplace that reflects the world we want to live in—from the way we live our values, to the diversity of our team, to how we treat each other. A career at Lit provides a work culture that will support you to do hard things in a human way so that you can bring your best self work every day. Because students deserve nothing less.
Here’s how:
You will work in your areas of expertise—literacy, instructional equity, and the science of reading—alongside passionate and brilliant colleagues so we realize our mission.
From a professional learning budget for each teammate, to sacred time to read the most cutting-edge research, to a community of colleagues who will nurture your curiosity, Lit is a place where you are constantly learning.
Research tells us that we must rest to be our best in action. Because of this, Lit shuts down for five “deliberate rest weeks” in addition to your PTO and all Summer Fridays off. When you travel for work, you will take a travel rest day upon your return. And each teammate receives a “deliberate rest budget” to support your ability to sustain and fuel your creativity.
It’s happening right now: you are visiting this website,
and you are reading these words. But where did you
learn to do that, and what was the process? Studies
show us that the human brain is naturally wired for
speech, but not necessarily for reading. Reading needs to
be taught, and the way it is taught can make a crucial
difference in a student’s development. At Lit we are
devoted to the science of reading. We ground our work
on proven research; we deliver approaches that work so that children can prosper in the ways that they deserve.
We’re hiring a Head of Engineering to lead technical strategy and execution for Bloom, a digital world that combines excellent reading instruction and ground-breaking technology to provide young readers with authentic, research-based foundational skills instruction.
