San Mateo, California, United States Stellic Full time

About Stellic

Stellic is a unified SaaS platform designed to empower students on their way to degree completion and career success.

Originally built by students, today we're proud to serve all segments of higher education at institutions like UChicago, Ohio State, Johnson County Community College, Cornell College, and University of Oklahoma, and many more.


A bit about our philosophy:

We've put student experience at the heart of our platform to address some of higher ed's biggest current challenges.

In fact, 40% of students who enter college will get lost while navigating their degree requirements and ultimately drop out - costing $200B to institutions annually.

A big cause is that most of higher education has been using antiquated and disparate tools to manage student progress, and that's led to low student engagement, overwhelmed advisors, wasted resources.

Stellic gives students a beautiful, user-friendly experience to plan ahead and manage their progress, helping them make informed decisions and take ownership.

That data is then put to good use.

Advisors and administrators have access to student planning and progress data like never before, helping to scale support and allocate resources based on what the students need.

It's a win-win for everyone involved

By joining our team, you'll help step closer to our mission of empowering all students to have the best-possible experiences and outcomes.

About the Team

The Onboarding team is ground zero for our mission - it is responsible for getting Stellic into the hands of students and advisors.

We own everything required to set up a partner institution with their own Stellic instance - including data, configurations, and branding.

We aim to do this as quickly and accurately as possible, and with no additional engineering involvement. Our ability to scale directly correlates with the ability to scale Stellic's growth and impact.

About the Role

This is an opportunity to shape the future of the student experience in higher ed.

As a lead engineer, you'll be owning parts of the Onboarding team's delivery end-to-end - working closely with the founders, PMs, and other engineers.

You'll do this at a fast pace, high-growth, mission-driven series A/B startup in enterprise SaaS that is past product/market fit stage and ready to scale.

Given our stage, there is ample opportunity to influence all aspects of the engineering org: including infrastructure, internal tooling, as well as culture and process

In this key role, you'll:
  1. Design and own the architecture, implementation, and delivery of new functionality for admin tools
  2. Build and maintain data pipelines that can ingest GBs (not TBs) of data in minutes
  3. Up-level the pace and quality of delivery through technical and operational investments around automation, best practices, and tooling
  4. Build and maintain highly available and scalable APIs for real-time data ingestions
  5. Own the overall planning, execution and success of projects that directly improve our top-line impact metrics
  6. Mentor other software engineers on hands-on work, task planning, and technical excellence
  7. Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a member of Stellic's engineering team

You'd be a great fit for this role if you have the following skills and experiences:

6+ years of backend-heavy software engineering experience (ideally Python)

You love eliminating engineering dependencies through product and infrastructure automations

Experience building internal tooling like backend admin portals

Proficiency in building and managing data pipelines for ingestion from legacy systems and ERPs (or equivalents)

Building, maintaining, and scaling backend systems and APIs leveraging cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS)

Solid written and verbal communication skills that work for engineers and non-engineers, including customers

Proven track record in project management, including planning, execution, and delivery

Familiarity with authentication systems (ideally SAML-based) is a plus

Why Join?


Be part of the customer-centric team that's addressing the core issues in higher ed via an expandable platform - one that's overwhelmingly loved by students and valued by administrators

The opportunity to join at the ground level of a promising and developing organization, and build/lead a team critically responsible for its growth

Work and learn from some of the most prominent thought leaders in higher ed and SaaS

Be part of a culture where ownership, new ideas, and creativity is celebrated

Generous stock options in a Series A stage startup

Flexible, outcome-based culture

Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance

401K and commuter benefits

Annual international retreats in some of the most beautiful cities & towns


Some of the things we've heard:


Student:

"Having an interface that allows you to look at everything reaffirms the idea that all the work you're putting in day-to-day, it is getting you somewhere. It is not all for naught"


Advisor:

"Just had the most AMAZING advising session...a student was changing majors and they built a new plan to show her parents within minutes. She was beaming (and so was is incredible to use"


Administrator:

"Stellic has caused us to be more inspired about the work that we do. Having a platform that is agile, responsive, flexible and shows potential for moving forward - and a collaborative team approach - has been remarkable."
