Who We Are

The Oppia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission to provide high quality education to all. We do this through the creation and maintenance of our free-to-use platform, Oppia (https://www.oppia.org), the coordination of our passionate contributors, and the development of critical partnerships with NGOs in the communities we aim to serve.

Where You Fit In

Millions of children are not receiving the education they deserve. Of the 61 million children worldwide who cannot attend primary school, 17 million will never step foot into a school if trends continue. Students around the world face difficulties accessing quality education due to conflict, discrimination, and lack of teacher training - and, in the wake of COVID-19, millions more children are also seeing interruptions in their daily lives, stability, and education, which makes it even more difficult for them to get the education they need to succeed.

Our community of volunteers has created an education platform with novel and engaging story-based mathematics lessons that have proved highly engaging and effective with students from underserved communities. We are looking to build upon this platform and further engage learners by developing features that meet their needs.

We are currently seeking detail-oriented individuals who can help with program management to ensure that new features are tested thoroughly and are ready to be deployed. This process includes collaborating with feature developers, coordinating with our pool of testers, writing bug reports for issues that block launches, and working with our marketing team to ensure our users are educated about these new feature launches. We pride ourselves on offering a high-quality experience to learners, and the Product Operations team plays a key part in this! We welcome individuals who are willing to learn and grow through this opportunity, though it would be good if you already have some prior experience in program management or product management.
