The BrainPOP® Story
We’re on a mission to empower kids to shape the world around them and within them. Founded by a physician in 1999, BrainPOP began as a way to explain difficult concepts to young patients.
Our beloved, trusted learning solutions have since made us a leader in the U.S. edtech supplemental market. In 2022, BrainPOP was acquired by KIRKBI, the family-owned holding and investment company of the LEGO® brand.

Culture and Benefits
BrainPOP offers options for medical, dental, vision and mental health coverage, as well as pre-tax options for health, dependent care and commuting.
We offer a 401k with a company match, parental leave, and a generous PTO and company holiday offering.
BrainPOP is a hybrid work environment, and we enjoy onsite collaboration balanced with flexibility to work remotely.
We keep our NYC office pantry and fridge stocked, and cater lunch in NYC once weekly.
We connect and build community through CEO coffee chats for new hires, in-office and virtual social events, team and department based on-sites, and an annual company-wide community service activity.
BrainPOPers may take advantage of in-house resources designed to support growth and development.
BrainPOPers have access to professional development funds, and each year we formally recognize teammates for their dedication to our values. We celebrate work anniversaries and employee achievements monthly.
Our Ethos
We believe that anyone can shape the world. As a professional community, we thrive when every BrainPOPer contributes their unique talent, experience, and perspective to our mission. As education leaders, we put kids at the center of everything we do while supporting teachers in their crucial work. When kids achieve, we all succeed.
BrainPOP is unlike any other place I've worked. BrainPOPers genuinely care about each other, our customers, and the impact of our work. After almost 7 years, the same energy and commitment I felt on day one remains at the heart of the culture.

Every technology venture I have worked with has a mission based on empowerment, learning, creation, and unlocking opportunities. That's why I immediately connected with BrainPOP's mission to empower kids to shape the world around them and within them.
