01
Work across boundaries
Collaborate across strategy, design, product, technology, education, operations and growth. A small company cannot afford narrow roles, and the interesting problems tend to sit between them anyway.
Careers
Build meaningful things with people who care about the details.
CirqEd brings together curious, capable people who want their work to be useful, coherent and built for the long term — across electronics, education, product, technology and operations.
What it is like here
Small company. Real ownership. Unglamorous problems.
CirqEd is early. That means fewer layers, shorter routes to a decision, and considerably more responsibility per person than a larger company would hand you at the same stage.
It also means the work is specific rather than abstract. Whether the output is a braided cable that has to survive a year in a bag, or a curriculum framework a school will actually run, someone eventually lives with what you decided.
We hold ourselves to the standard we set for the educators and customers we work with: show up, prepare well, and take ownership of outcomes. That applies to everyone, including the people who started the company.
If that sounds like the kind of place you do your best work, we would like to hear from you — whether or not a role is currently advertised.
How we work
Three things you can expect.
02
Own meaningful outcomes
Take responsibility for a real problem and see how your decisions shape a product or a brand. Responsibility does not stop at launch — you stay with it through how it performs in real use.
03
Grow through building
Learn quickly through practical work, honest feedback and exposure to multiple stages of company creation, from first research to what happens after something ships.
Who tends to do well here
The traits that matter more than the CV.
We care less about where you have worked than about how you think about the work.
01
You notice what others tolerate
The people who fit here are the ones already irritated by the frayed cable and the pointless form — and curious about why it ended up that way.
02
You can be told you are wrong
Honest review is how quality survives contact with a deadline. That only works if feedback is given directly and received without defensiveness.
03
You finish things
Ideas are cheap and abundant. What is rare is the patience to carry something through the unglamorous last twenty per cent, which is usually where quality is decided.
Where we hire
The kinds of work we are usually looking for.
Roles vary as the ventures grow. These are the areas where capable people are almost always useful to us.
01
Product and design
Industrial and experience design, packaging, product management and the research that decides what should be built in the first place.
02
Technology
Web and application engineering, data, platform work and the systems behind commerce, learning and school operations.
03
Education
Teaching, curriculum design, assessment, teacher development and academic quality across the Teacherz solutions.
04
Operations and supply
Sourcing, quality control, logistics, customer support and the day-to-day machinery that lets a promise about consistency actually be kept.
05
Brand and growth
Content, communications, performance marketing, partnerships and retail — for two brands with very different audiences.
06
Finance and governance
Finance, legal, compliance and reporting, treated as infrastructure to build early rather than paperwork to add later.
