Sumdog is an online games-based learning service used by millions of children worldwide.
We are world leaders in engaging students in maths and English learning and are revolutionising education by tailoring questions to student ability. Research shows that students using Sumdog regularly progress twice as fast than those who don't.
In other words, our students are working hard at mastering questions that are appropriate to their level. The results are spectacular. Recent research shows primary school students that use our product regularly, progress three times faster than those that don't.
At the heart of this is our user's experience. We face unique challenges: our users range from technically capable five-year-olds to experienced teachers with no experience of software.
Sumdog has a big heart but we are only a small company of around 30 employees. Despite this, the size of our customer base and complexity of our product, from the algorithms that produce the questions through to the big data we collect for teacher reports, means that we face similar challenges to the internet giants. For many people, this makes us the perfect employer. We're small enough to listen to our employees, big enough to be technically interesting and the work we do is both rewarding and valuable.
