Our take
Since launching as Wireless Generation in the year 2000, before rebranding in 2012 after News Corp acquired the company, Amplify has grown into one of the leading providers of K-12 curricula, assessment and supplemental programs for ELA (English Language Arts), Math and Science.
The EdTech market has been growing rapidly for the last decade and more, and its value is expected to surpass 230 billion by 2030. This growth means that the company has plenty of competition from the likes of Khan Academy and Kaplan Test, but the fact that Amplify is used by around 10 million students puts it in a very strong position.
After a major growth funding round in 2021, Amplify acquired digital math tools developer Desmos. This is in keeping with its commitment to strategically acquire high-performing education companies in order to expand its own tech and product offerings.

Company benefits

We make a generous contribution to all employee HSA plans, which can be used to cover eligible health expenses. We offer unlimited paid time off, a 401(k) plan with an employer match, long- and short-term disability, and employer-sponsored employee life insurance. We offer paid parental leave, backup childcare and backup eldercare.

- Opportunities for inspiration: Amplify believes in the importance of supporting charitable nonprofits in the communities where we live and work. We encourage employees to support organizations that promote the welfare of children and families in the areas of education, health, and social services. One way for employees to give back is through our Volunteer Time Off program, which allows employees to take 16 hours each year to contribute to an eligible charitable or nonprofit organization.
