! We’re a non-profit on a mission to build a community that helps discover and develop the potential in teens. We’re out to improve the way potential is identified and amplified so that we find youth that traditional talent systems overlook. We are starting with a focus on teens ages 15-17 who aim to serve others. We are building a global-first, mobile-first platform to help notice teens and connect them with opportunities (fellowships, scholarships, etc). It's like LinkedIn for the next generation.
We’re looking for U.S. based generalists (fully remote) who can dive in wherever needed, including frontend, backend, and some light data work. At our current stage, we’re light on process, so you should enjoy working with a high-level of autonomy and decision-making authority.
