    What Were Looking For:

    • Collaboration & Communication
      • Excellent interpersonal skills: able to bridge technical and non-technical audiences.
      • Humble, pragmatic, and coachable - valuing feedback and always seeking to raise the bar.
      • Making your work visible: share what you learn from customers with the broader org and make sure nobody is ever surprised by project status.
    • Entrepreneurial Drive
      • Aspires to grow into an engineering leader or product-centric role.
      • Comfortable stepping into uncharted territory and defining what done looks like.

Our roots are in delivering near- peer mentorship at scale, which has since evolved to delivering lifelong guidance through AI and a vast professional network. We have raised over $66m in venture funding from dedicated investors such as Morningside Technology Ventures (Xiaomi, TikTok), the founding partner of 5Y Capital, Fidelity, University Ventures, and more. In 2020, after years of being a remote-friendly company, CollegeVine became a fully remote company centered on Eastern Time with a diverse cast of team members based predominantly in the United States, but also around the world.
