Senior Software Engineer - Infrastructure at Marker Learning

At Marker Learning, we are dedicated to transforming the way students access learning disability assessments.

We are changing that narrative by using proprietary technology to make evaluations faster, more affordable, and highly accessible. As a rapidly growing startup supported by mission-driven venture capital firms and education non-profits, we invite you to help us build a future where every student receives the support they need to succeed.
