Assessment and survey administration platform for K-12 and government clients
Data Recognition Corporation operates a three-unit assessment, survey, and document services business serving K-12 schools, government agencies, and commercial clients. The tech stack—Angular, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redshift, Snowflake, AWS—reflects a mid-market services org transitioning from legacy data pipelines to cloud analytics, with active work on front-end UI integration and reporting systems. Hiring skews engineering-heavy (4 of 15 open roles) at mid-level, consistent with modernizing core infrastructure while managing high-volume seasonal operations.
DRC provides end-to-end assessment solutions for K-12 education, including test development, psychometric validation, item banking, summative and formative assessments, and custom reporting. The company also operates survey services for government and commercial clients across all phases—from design through analysis—and a document services unit handling high-speed variable digital printing, mailing, and fulfillment. Founded in 1978 with 50 employees, DRC now maintains a core staff of over 850 full-time employees plus 6,000+ seasonal and temporary workers to handle peak test administration cycles. Three distinct business units segment the customer base: Education Services (K-12 focus), Survey Services (government and commercial), and Document Services (printing and fulfillment).
Angular, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redshift, Snowflake, and AWS form the core. Testing tools include Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, and JMeter. Data processing uses Python, R, and SAS.
