About Stellic

Student Success Platform Designed to Help Students Maximize their College Journey and Graduate on Time.

About The Role

• About Stellic** Stellic is a unified SaaS platform designed to empower all students on their way to degree completion and career success. Originally built by students to more effectively plan ahead, 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 ed 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! With millions of students in higher ed, Stellic’s work is far from finished. 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 Institutional Operations (IO) team powers a number of core products and engineering abstractions that are used directly by end users, as well as other teams internally. Today, the IO team is responsible for permissions, IAM, search infrastructure, workflows, analytics, reporting, configurations, and notifications. **About the Role** This is an opportunity to shape the future of the student experience in higher ed. As a Tech Lead, you’ll be leading all areas of the IO 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, and culture and process!
