You will be on Procedure's payroll.\nWho are we:\nWe founded Timely to build the tool we wish we'd had when we were in schools -- hoping to save hundreds of hours of wasted time while helping schools develop better schedules that enable their academic, budget and staffing priorities. Our solution addresses the needs of school-based employees who toil away building schedules and central office employees who need visibility into them.\nThe school schedule reflects values and priorities. With 75 to 90% of a district budget dedicated to personnel, there are few questions more paramount than how your staff and students spend their time every day, what positions you need, how many teachers you will hire, and how students will interact with them. Strategic resource allocation across schools, proper access to core courses and electives, and dedicated support to sub-groups begins with the development of a school schedule.\nTimely is your home for secondary scheduling featuring AI optimisation and support from a team of former educators who know and have lived scheduling. Not only does Timely save time and headaches, but it also unlocks resources so district and charter leaders can build a schedule that aligns with their vision.\nAbout the role:\nThis role is an Automation QA Engineer position focused on the core Timely application.
