Job

Company

Role

Who you are

2 - 4 years of software engineering experience (including internships)
Proficiency with relational databases, modern IasS platforms, (Javascript || Ruby), and MVC web frameworks like Ruby on Rails. We also make heavy use of Purescript, so experience or an interest in learning typed-functional programming is necessary
You see yourself first and foremost as a pragmatic problem solver who just happens to write code
Have a humble attitude, a love for learning, an eagerness to help your colleagues, and a desire to do whatever it takes to make the team succeed
Care deeply about the end user experience and take pride in building products to solve customer needs

What the job involves

You’ll work on a product squad alongside designers, domain experts, and other engineers to solve the correct problems and deliver our guidance technology in a safe and reliable way
Own and rapidly deliver features across the full stack in partnership with your lead engineer
Own problems end-to-end, and are willing to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to get the job done
Partner directly with functions across the business to understand their needs
Improve engineering productivity for yourself and other engineers by creating tooling, documentation, and (of course) automated tests
Focus on solving the problems at hand, not just writing code (although that’s typically how Canopy AI delivers solutions)

Our take

Selecting the right college can be a challenging and time-consuming endeavor, causing stress for both students and their families. CollegeVine is utilizing the capabilities of data science to address this issue.

Founded by a team of Ivy League alumni, CollegeVine has crafted an efficient and personalized college guidance platform. In comparison to conventional college guidance and mentoring options, CollegeVine stands out for its affordability and accessibility.

The company will have to continue to entice users away from traditional counseling services and similar companies in order to attract more users. However, substantial funding underscores the increasing demand for such a platform, and it's paying off, having achieved noteworthy success in both the US and India.
