Why Join Panorama?
Panorama Education is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive company because we serve students, educators, and families from tremendously diverse backgrounds and identities across the country. We’ve seen how our product and impact are strengthened the more we reflect that diversity. We believe diverse teams are higher-performing, and we embrace the varied perspectives that our team members share with each other.
The Solara Engineering Fellowship is your opportunity to learn, contribute, and grow in a supportive environment—while shaping the future of AI in education. Fellows who excel may be offered full-time positions, but continuation beyond the program is not guaranteed.
About the Role
As a Solara Engineering Fellow, you’ll join Panorama’s dynamic Technology Team through a 10-week immersive fellowship program. This program is designed to give early-career engineers the chance to contribute directly to Solara — Panorama’s next market-defining product, focused on transforming how educators use AI to support students.,
Solara has already seen rapid early success, and to accelerate this momentum we’ve launched the AI Incubator: a focused internal team building AI-first solutions for K–12 education with speed, creativity, and rigor. Fellows will be embedded in this environment, working closely with mentors, teammates, and experienced engineers in a space that values autonomy, fast decision-making, and bold experimentation.
During the fellowship, you’ll be embedded on real projects—learning Panorama’s engineering practices, experimenting with AI tools, and delivering features that make a difference. You’ll also gain experience in building AI systems that are transparent and fair, with safeguards to evaluate for bias and discrimination, aligning with Panorama’s commitment to ethical and responsible technology.
At the end of the program, fellows will be evaluated for potential full-time opportunities on the Solara team. While full-time employment is not guaranteed, strong performers may be offered a role after successful completion of the fellowship.
The Panorama Technology team has strong technical skills and we value learning and challenging ourselves. From guest talks, internal demos, and knowledge-sharing spaces, to hackathons and open-source projects, we push ourselves to grow as we help schools across the U.S. do the same.
