At SchooLinks we build software and experiences that lets K12 School districts provide their students with access to the best tools and technology for intelligent and personalized college and career planning, search, and application. We're creating a more equitable experience for students to find success through work-based learning, community/industry partner collaboration, and expanding students horizons like no other tools on the market. We're partnering with some of the largest school systems in the US and leaders in areas of work-based learning, high school internships, and financial literacy to create new student experiences and quantify the impact our partnerships have on students' college retention and labor market success. We're a remote-friendly, tight-knit team. We pride ourselves with delivering smooth, modern, and elegant experiences and keeping our code clean so we can move fast and build new experiences quickly. We have a mix of challenges building new products and scaling existing products to support millions of users. We're hiring for front end, full stack, and product roles.
