Senior Frontend Engineer

Set students' lives on a trajectory they'll be proud of

Every decision a student makes during their education can leave a lasting impact on their future. Together, we can help them bring the right decisions into focus.

There are over 235 million students in higher-ed, each with a path that will let them move forward in the world with purpose. We have the opportunity to make the path easier to see and follow. It's a big endeavor, but we're fully committed to it.

Innovation for students, by (former) students

We started Stellic when we were college students wanting to get the most value out of our education. The tools available to help us were outdated and confusing, even then. But with effort and insight from other students and professionals on campus, we're now redefining the role of tech in schools across the world.

We approach our work with curiosity, a drive to grow, and a desire to learn.

DepartmentAbout Stellic

We're building a future where every student can move through their education with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Our platform transforms the student experience, giving them the tools they need to make the right decisions about their degree plans, track their journey, and build an education and career path that's truly their own.

Stellic is a fast-growing startup backed by leading social impact investors, partnering with top institutions like Cornell, Columbia, UVA, and Ohio State to support over 1 million students across 7 countries. As we scale to serve more universities worldwide, we remain deeply committed to this mission, driven by our values, and committed to building a high-performance team that's here to make a lasting difference on both students' lives and higher education.

Stellic Engineers

Stellic engineers combine a rare blend of curiosity, creativity, and business acumen with the ability to deliver pragmatic solutions at high velocity with uncompromising quality. Our mission is to help students, and our engineers always have that in mind as they are building.

The Role

Stellic is at a significant crossroads. Having proved incredibly strong product-market fit, and having maintained enviable customer NPS ratings, it's time to prepare for the next stages of our evolution. The naive implementations of our data pipelines have reached their expiration date, yet we continue to have ambitious roadmaps that will allow us to continue to improve the lives of students all over the world. We need someone who can lead us into the future by driving upgrades to our data pipelines while at the same time up-leveling our current engineering team's ability to delight our users with new product capabilities.
