Our Company
Specific to the company:
SchoolMaker is the best platform to host premium online courses.
Most online courses are just a series of videos. SchoolMaker is different: the videos are paired with a step-by-step progression system, a supportive community, and a coach to help you succeed.
Our clients are online teaching businesses. They use SchoolMaker to sell premium courses at premium prices and with great service.
Development started in March 2020 and we launched in November 2020. In the first week, we were able to get hundreds of paying customers. In 2021, we focused on building the best product possible, using feedback from our customers.
Currently, there is a team of 6 people working full-time on SchoolMaker.
So we're young - but we're growing fast!
Now, we need a great Full-Stack Engineer to join our Product Team.
This is a full-time, remote position.
