Company mission
To transform young people’s lives by giving teachers, coaches, and school leaders the tools they need to continuously improve. We believe great teachers change student lives — and we're building the technology to make that happen at scale.
Our take
Steplab Co-founders Joshua Goodrich and Ben Abelman have a broad and extensive set of experiences in the education system, from both the teaching and the operational perspectives. So the education solution they’re cooking up together, developing and testing a professional learning platform and new approaches to school improvement, comes from hand-on experience of industry pitfalls.
Steplab is looking to harness instructional coaching and data-driven insights to improve the quality of teaching. It is an approach that draws on insights from top educational researchers.
The UK is going through something of a crisis in the teaching workforce, as many defect to less stressful and better remunerated adjacent positions. A platform, therefore, that can offer a succinct and effective way of improving the quality of instruction is likely to prove popular among short-staffed headteachers looking to harness tech to improve their educational provision.

Benefits
- 🌴 28 days of paid leave, plus bank holidays | You’ll start with 28 days, increasing by 1 each year up to 33. We think everyone who works at Steplab should have plenty of time to recharge and enjoy life outside of work. We only ask that holidays are kept to around two weeks maximum at a time, and that you’re considerate of when others on your team are on holiday.
- 🏢 We have an office near Highbury & Islington station. We tend to come in 2-3 days per week, but we’re flexible if you want to come in more or less than that. We ask that everyone is available to come to London once per month for an all-hands meeting. We are open to fully-remote candidates, but will prioritise those amenable to hybrid working.
- 🏥 Private Healthcare Insurance | We provide private medical insurance designed to cover treatment of new medical conditions. From seeing a specialist for fast diagnosis, to having a comfortable private hospital stay. Provided by Vitality.
