team passionate about helping schools set all their students up for success.
### Why work at Boost My School?
**1\. Be proud of your impact helping schools and students**

* Every Boost team member has clear accountability over results that directly impact the success of our company and our customers
* Our business model is designed so that we only succeed when our customers succeed
**2\. Work with thoughtful teammates building a champion company together**
* 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
* Use our weekly No Meetings Day to get uninterrupted work done (or to do your laundry while you work)
* Take on tasks in which you have the final say over your manager or the CEO
* Receive regular professional development through weekly 1-on-1s, monthly self-reviews, and quarterly career check-ins
* Get to know your remote teammates at our twice-a-year, week-long, in-person retreats (as long as it’s safe to travel)
**3\. Join a culture that lets you be your best self at work and outside of
work**
* Internal meetings are scheduled during our core working hours (12pm to 4pm ET) so you have more flexibility over your time
* Take care of errands or pick up your kids as long as you communicate accountability over the things you’re responsible for
* Our company calendar is aligned with the school year - we have 15 company days off across major holidays and Summer Fridays
* 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
* Company covers medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses through QSEHRA ($440/mo for individuals, $891/mo for those with families)

* Be responsible for and implement major architecture decisions and initiatives
* 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
* Opportunity to grow with the company into a manager, if you consistently achieve targets and you exhibit the habits needed to succeed in the new role
* Work directly with and report to our Founder & CEO, who coded the first version of the product
* Support your teammates and fill in gaps as needed since we are a small team
