Boost My School is looking for a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to join our team helping schools ensure all students succeed .
Why work at Boost?
1. We make meaningful impact helping schools and students
- Boost is trusted by 300+ schools to bring in $200M a year from 100,000 families and donors
- Our product has world-class satisfaction - 98% school retention and 85 NPS
- Every Boost team member has clear accountability over results that directly impact the success of our company and schools
- Our business model is designed so that we succeed only when our schools succeed
- You're given a monthly budget to donate to schools of your choice on Boost
2. We win as part of a thoughtful and collaborative team
- Our work culture is inspired by championship sports teams
- Openly view all company communication outside of personal matters - we mostly communicate over Slack public channels and Notion public wikis
- Openly view company, team, and individual performance metrics
- Take on tasks in which you have the final say over your manager or the CEO
- Every full-time team member is financially aligned to top company goals through an annual company bonus
- Get to know your remote teammates at our all-company in-person retreat in July and departmental coworking onsites in fall/winter
3. We embrace ownership over our work, growth, and time
- Our hiring goal is for each team member to stay at Boost for 5+ years
- Internal meetings are scheduled during our core working hours (12pm to 4pm ET) so you have more flexibility over your time
- Use our weekly No Meetings Day to get uninterrupted work done (or to do your laundry while you work)
- Take care of errands or pick up your kids as long as you communicate accountability over the things you're responsible for
- Receive regular professional development through weekly 1-on-1s and quarterly career check-ins
- Our company calendar is aligned with the school year - we have 15 company days off across major holidays and July Fridays Off
- Outside of the 15 company days off, we suggest taking an additional 10 to 15 days off, and require taking 1 week of continuous time off per calendar year
- Use your remote working stipend ($200/mo) for your internet bill, to buy lunch, or for professional development
- Company covers medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses through QSEHRA ($537/mo for individuals, up to $1,091/mo for those with families)
- A company laptop will be shipped to you before your first day
Responsibilities
- Join a fast-moving environment - you'll deploy to production multiple times on your first week
- Be responsible for and implement initiatives that directly impact the success of our schools
- Make major contributions across the entire stack: infrastructure, frontend, backend, analytics, internal tools
- Play a role in selecting future technologies - our stack is an isomorphic React/Relay web app that talks to a Rails GraphQL API
- Work with teammates that care about writing maintainable code - we practice continuous deployment, incremental pull requests, strict linting, type checking, and strong test coverage
- Support your teammates and fill in gaps as needed since we are a small team
- Our team has less experience in Support, QA, and DevOps Engineering, bonus if you get excited by any of those
- Travel expectations: On average twice a year for company retreats, occasionally a school visit

- You use radical candor : You give and seek out empathetic feedback to help the team grow together
- You move fast with intention: You make decisions and execute quickly to both succeed and learn faster
- Bonus: You're familiar with the school fundraising industry - e.g. you helped raise money for your school or you know what "advancement" means
