Identity, single sign-on and secure access platform for K-12 education
Clever runs an identity and single sign-on platform for K-12 schools on an AWS-native stack (EKS, Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, OpenSearch) with OAuth 2.0 and integrations into Google Admin Console and Entra. Job posts show authentication expanding beyond student logins into device-level identity and AI agent access. The senior-only, go-to-market-heavy hiring mix, with Gong, LeadIQ and Sales Navigator in the stack, points to a push into UK schools and district cross-sell.
