Senior Software Engineer, Fullstack

About Us

At Campus, we're on a mission to optimize the world’s teaching and learning.

We’ve assembled a world-class team of engineers, designers, and pedagogists to build an accredited, high quality, affordable alternative to traditional community college.

First, we built Campuswire (https://campuswire.com/platform) -- Campuswire is a powerful teaching tool for large, online classes. It’s used in tens of thousands of classes on 300+ campuses across the country and world (think schools like UCLA, Penn, Oxford and NYU).

Now, we’re using it to further build Campus (https://campus.org). Campus will be a place where students can complete their first two years of college affordably (or tuition debt free) while taking classes with the best teaching faculty in the country. Some of our professors are from UCLA, Berkeley, Spelman, NYU, and Princeton. Our goal is to dramatically increase community college completion rates while increasing pay for talented instructors.

We’re backed by an investor team that believes deeply in our vision for the future of education -- our investors include Sam Altman, Founders Fund, Bloomberg Beta, Precursor Ventures, Reach Capital, Rethink Education, Betaworks and others. We're also supported by a group of amazing angels including Jason Citron (CEO of Discord) and Rob Hayes.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a talented Senior Fullstack Software Engineer who has experience in React and Go to join our team and scale with us.

What you’ll do

In the first 6 months at Campus, you will:

• Join as an early employee (~15 folks) and take ownership of the codebase to produce amazing code that impacts over 300k users everyday
• Ship key features regularly that will make or break the company
• Work closely with mobile development teams (iOS + Android) to ship reusable React components and backend code that is stable even as we scale users
• Work closely with Engineering and Product leadership to improve and execute on processes as the company scales
• Rapidly bug-test and improve overall stability of the app for both frontend and backend
