About The Position

Clever is on a mission to connect every student to a world of learning. As the leading identity platform for education, more than 111,000 schools worldwide use Clever to power secure digital learning experiences. With Clever’s layered security solutions, schools can protect access and identities for all staff, teachers, and students. With a secure identity platform for schools and a network of leading application providers, Clever is committed to advancing education with technology that works for students everywhere. Clever, a Kahoot! company, has an office in San Francisco, CA, but you can visit us at clever.com anytime. The Devices team builds Clever's integrations with the operating systems students use in the classroom: iOS, macOS, Windows, and ChromeOS. Our work spans web identity standards like OIDC and SAML and native code in Swift and C++, including Platform SSO apps for each OS and a browser extension. Students are our primary users, teachers are secondary, and IT admins set up and configure these integrations for their schools. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will build features across that surface, from backend services to native device clients. The problem you'll solve: Students lose class time when signing in to a shared school device is slow or breaks. You will build device integrations that get them into their learning apps quickly and securely, and that IT admins can set up and manage without friction. Who you'll partner with: You will work closely with Product and Design on features, and with IT admins and Customer Support to understand how these integrations behave in real districts. You will also mentor peers through code reviews and technical leadership. What success looks like: Features and integrations ship reliably and are adopted by districts. Your code is easy to maintain and well tested, and you help the team keep the login systems schools rely on stable. Key projects you'll lead: You will drive work across native clients (Swift, C++) and the services behind them. Near-term projects include Platform SSO for macOS, Googlebooks login support, and Apple School Manager integration.
