K-12 curriculum and assessment platform serving 90% of US public school districts
Savvas operates one of the largest installed bases in US K-12 education, reaching over 90 percent of public school districts across all 50 states. The tech stack—Python, Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, Angular, Postgres, MongoDB, AWS, Redshift, BigQuery—reflects a modernizing backend paired with frontend web assets, while active hiring is skewed heavily toward education and sales roles rather than engineering, suggesting a customer-success and implementation-led growth model rather than product-driven velocity.
