About Scout
About ScoutCome join us as we build the infrastructure for the next generation of schools in America.Scout is an AI-native student information system (SIS), which is a system of record that powers the back office of every K-12 school in the US. Right now, the SIS is broken. Legacy SIS companies are sales and consulting organizations that have a small engineering arm to maintain their product. The SIS holds back innovation across the entire education industry; bloated and outdated software makes it hard to run a school district like a highly-efficient organization, and to integrate other edtech platforms. We're trying to change that by building vertical software to help entire school district back offices run more efficiently. The student information system is a force multiplier that can make every educational software company provide better service to schools, teachers, and students. We're looking for engineers who want to work on extremely difficult problems at a highly technical organization in an industry where you can truly make a difference in the world.About ScoutScout is the AI-native operating system for schools. Our first product, Scout SIS, is a student information system (SIS). At its core, the SIS a database for schools to store student and staff data. Every school has an SIS, but it’s one of the lowest NPS products in the history of software. Legacy players like PowerSchool are multibillion-dollar, rent-extracting companies that squeeze every dollar they can out of schools by locking them into long-term contracts for products that require significant hidden add-on fees to function properly. We’re trying to change that by automating complex back-office workflows across data validation, legal compliance, and government reporting. We believe that having a highly efficient back-office with access to an interoperable data store will enable school districts to offer the highest quality of instruction to students, and our OS will enable an ecosystem of next-gen edtech software companies to flourish.
