Testimonials

Loved by educators everywhere

See what teachers are saying about Graider.

"Graider has completely transformed my workflow. I used to spend entire weekends grading essays. Now I have that time back for lesson planning and family."

DK
Dr. David Kim University Professor, Chemistry

"I was skeptical about AI grading, but Graider impressed me. The custom rubric feature ensures grades match my exact standards. It's not replacing teachers - it's empowering us."

Competitive Advantage

The only complete teaching loop

No product on the market combines AI grading, diagnostic cause analysis, conversational data querying, and differentiated lesson recommendations in one tool.

Diagnostic Cause Analysis

Every competitor shows what the scores are. Graider answers why -- rubric breakdowns reveal weakest skills, unanswered question detection shows what content was skipped, and omission impact analysis quantifies the cost.

"Writing quality was the weakest category (avg 8.2/25). 61% of students left at least one section blank, costing an average of 13.3 points."

Differentiated Lesson Recommendations

Analyzes actual student work, identifies specific weaknesses, cross-references curriculum standards filtered by DOK level, and recommends what to teach next -- differentiated for advanced, standard, and support groups.

DOK 3-4 Advanced DOK 1-3 Standard DOK 1-2 Support

The Complete Teaching Loop

The market is fragmented: CoGrader grades but has no analytics. Panorama has analytics but doesn't grade. Gradescope helps workflows but has no AI chat. Graider is the only tool that grades, extracts data, lets you interrogate it conversationally, and recommends what to teach next.

Grade Diagnose Query Prescribe

Accessible to Individual Teachers

Panorama Solara requires a district contract. Renaissance and i-Ready require institutional procurement. Gradescope needs an institutional license. Graider is available to any teacher with a browser -- no IT department, no district contract, no procurement cycle.

Careers

Help us give teachers their time back

Most teachers lose five to seven hours a week to grading. We're building the software that fixes that, and we're hiring a few early people to help. The team is small, and the things you build get used in classrooms within weeks.

Sales

Founding Account Executive

Full-time, remote in the US

You'd be our first sales hire. The job is to turn the teachers who already love Graider into signed schools and districts. You run the whole cycle, and you work out what sells as you go.

What you'll do

  • Run the full K-12 sales cycle, from the first conversation with a teacher or a district leader to a signed contract.
  • Grow single-teacher accounts into building-wide and district-wide deals.
  • Get through district procurement, including pilots, FERPA reviews, rostering, and budget timing.
  • Tell the product team what districts keep asking for, and help decide what we build next.

What you bring

  • Three or more years closing SaaS, ideally into schools or districts.
  • You understand teachers and can win over a skeptical one in a single demo.
  • You'd rather act than wait, and ambiguity doesn't slow you down.
Apply
Engineering

Full Stack Engineer

Full-time, remote in the US

You'll work across the whole stack: Python and Flask on the backend, React on the front end, the AI grading pipeline, and the integrations that connect Graider to schools. There's no wall between teams, and your code reaches classrooms fast.

What you'll do

  • Build features end to end across a Flask backend and a React (Vite) front end, backed by Supabase and Postgres.
  • Work directly with the LLM APIs we use, including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini, on prompt pipelines, structured output, and multi-pass grading.
  • Extend the school integrations: Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster, and LTI 1.3.
  • Keep the grading path correct and FERPA-safe, with tests and fixes that get at the root cause instead of the symptom.

What you bring

  • Three or more years building production web apps, comfortable on both the backend and the front end.
  • Strong Python and solid React and JavaScript.
  • You've made unreliable third-party APIs behave, and you like to leave work actually finished.
