About the job

Lumira is an early-stage startup taking on a problem that's held K-12 back for years. School districts are sitting on mountains of student data, but it's scattered across systems that don't talk to each other, and the people who need it most, teachers and administrators, rarely get it in a form they can actually use. We're building an AI-native platform that brings all of that together and turns it into something educators can act on, so they can spend less time wrestling with their tools and more time helping kids. It solves real, everyday pain points inside districts, and it's the kind of work that actually moves the needle for schools that need it.

This is a co-founding opportunity, not your typical job posting. You'd be getting in at the very beginning, building the product side by side with the founders, shaping the culture and the company as much as the code, and holding a true co-founder's stake in what we create together. We're looking for someone who genuinely loves this product and this mission, who wants to build something that doesn't exist yet, and who's excited to make a real difference in an industry that badly needs it. To be upfront about compensation, this is not a $100,000-a-year salaried role. We start with a trial period of a few months so both sides can be sure it's the right fit, and we'll agree on pay for that period before it begins. If we both feel good at the end of it and want to keep building this together, you'll come on as a co-founder with a meaningful equity stake in the company. Because a portion of the platform depends on pulling data cleanly from the systems districts already use, deep, proven API and integration experience is the most important thing we're looking for.

Primary Responsibilities
