Who are we?
Kuali builds software solutions for higher education. We help our customers — colleges &universities — focus on providing a fantastic education to students by decreasing their administrative costs. We work in a competitive space, ripe for innovation, with users ready to be delighted.

Our Culture
As a company, we are guided by our cultural values:
  • Iterate to evolve
  • Cultivate openness

  • Practice humility
  • Deliver amazing experiences
As Kuali Engineers, we learn from and teach each other, we practice transparency and empathy, we delight in delivering value to our customers, and we WIN!
 
We work remotely, and have for years. Distributed work is in our bones, with a history of institutions working together across state lines for more than twenty years. Our employees each work in the environment where they’re happiest, from Pennsylvania to Seattle. We work consciously to create a collaborative and healthy remote work culture, and we travel to meet in person a few times each year. We feel it’s important for employees to come to work refreshed and ready for the week so we have a four day work week policy, Monday-Thursday.

Everyone should love their work.
Kuali has been voted a top place to work for 8 years by the Salt Lake Tribune. We also made Forbes' list of America's Best Startup Employers for 2020. Most recently, in 2024 TIME Magazine honored us by naming Kuali to their list of the World’s Top EdTech Companies, ranking us #99 overall and #37 in the US.

At Kuali, we embrace diversity and inclusion at every level. We value and respect individuals from all backgrounds, recognizing that a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives fuels our success as a company and enriches our collective human experience.

What you'll be responsible for
You will be working closely with product, design, and our customers on the Kuali Financials product. Customers use our Financials product to efficiently and effectively manage the complex accounting needs of higher education.
 
About you
We’re looking for curious, enthusiastic, empathetic software engineers to solve problems, execute on ideas, advocate for the customer, and contribute to a team culture built on trust and mutual respect. This is a temporary full-time engineer position where you’ll have a significant impact on what we do and how we do it.
We build and support systems using Java and React. We believe that great developers can always learn new tools. Above any specific tech stack, we’re looking for versatile developers — those who know when to think big and when to act small, and who are comfortable in both greenfield and refactoring projects.
We believe the best results are created by teams who represent a broad range of ideas and perspectives. We value employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences in all our positions, including this temporary full-time role.
