About Playground
Playground is working to make excellent child care accessible to all. Playground has built best-in-class software to manage all aspects of running a child care business. We believe that providers should focus on providing incredible child care — the kind of work that only people can do — and that software should manage the rest. We’re building the child care management platform that eliminates the administrative work of running a center.
Playground is at an inflection point and poised for rapid growth. We recently raised millions of dollars, secured several statewide contracts, and are working with thousands of schools across the country. Our founders were recently honored as Forbes 30 Under 30.
We are a team of owners, unafraid to dive into large, complex projects. If you’re excited about solving high-impact problems across a growing startup and want to work closely with company leadership to build operational excellence from the inside out, we want to hear from you!
The Role
We always want to hear from talented, passionate individuals who are excited by Playground’s mission — even if your background doesn’t align with a current opening. By joining the Playground Talent Network, you’ll be among the first to hear about new opportunities that match your skills and interests. This is a great way to stay connected with Playground as we grow rapidly across engineering, design, customer experience, sales, marketing, and operations.
