Standards-based K-12 digital curriculum reaching 50M+ students globally
Discovery Education delivers standards-aligned digital content and learning tools to K-12 classrooms at scale—serving 4.5 million educators and over 50 million students worldwide. The tech stack reveals a dual operational reality: a 3D content creation pipeline (Blender, Substance Painter, Unity, WebGL) feeding curriculum products, paired with a growing back-office infrastructure (Sage Intacct, Salesforce, Gainsight, Looker) to support enterprise customer operations. Current hiring velocity is accelerating but heavily skewed toward sales (6 roles), finance (3), and marketing (3)—while engineering shows only 1 open position—suggesting near-term focus on revenue retention, deal management, and financial controls rather than product feature velocity.
