Software Engineer in NYC
Don't want to work for a company that just makes rich people richer? Care about mental health and pay equality? You're not alone. We're mission driven because we don't really see how you couldn't be by this point.
You
For the first time since our founding we're expanding Coursicle beyond course registration. With the addition of tasks, calendar, and the features you'll help us implement, we're hoping students will begin to rely on Coursicle every day of the semester.
We don't care about what languages you know or frameworks you have experience in. Our philosophy has always been to hire great people and teach them what they need to know (footnote 1). And although development is the role's focus, since we're a very small team you'll have the opportunity to learn about other aspects of the business as well (software, business, marketing, etc.).
Us
Company:
- 700,000 users
- Running entirely on revenue
- Small team (4 full-time, 3 part-time)
Role:
- 1% equity stake (4 year vest)

Missions:
- Mental health: we've seen first-hand the stigma that's held toward mental illness (read our CEO's essay about his struggle with anxiety and depression). It's all too common to feel isolated and overwhelmed in college. Coursicle began as a way to reduce the anxiety of course registration and we're continuing that effort by helping students feel more in control of their academic lives.
- Wealth disparity: we don't want to make the rich richer, so we don't take investment, we don't optimize for profit, and every employee at Coursicle makes the same salary (footnote 2). We want to show the world that money can't continue to be the end goal anymore and you can be successful without trying to squeeze every cent out of people.
Footnotes:
- In case you want to see our tech stack anyway, here you go.
- Every employee at Coursicle makes the same base salary of $60,000 and company profits are split equally as bonuses. In recent years, these bonuses have been $15,000 - $20,000.
