About Skool:
Product:
Skool is a platform where course creators host their student communities and
course content in 1-place, with 1-login, and 1-search. In the past, this was
done with a Facebook Group, and a learning management system (LMS). Skool puts
the two together and gamifies it, so it's engaging and fun. Watch a 2-min
explainer video here. Try the product by joining our Skool Community here.
Company:
We've been building Skool for 3 years. We're a team of 18 people. We have a
product people love, paying customers, we're well funded, profitable, and
growing 20% month-over-month organically. Our CTO (Daniel Kang) has 20 years
of experience and high standards for system design and code quality. Our CEO
has 10 years of experience in the e-learning industry, building a company from
$0 to $36m. He self-funded Skool with $10m of his own money.
Location:
Skool is a remote team with an office in Los Angeles. Much of the team is LA-
based, but we're open to all US-based candidates for this role. We welcome
staff in the office (if they prefer), but work completely distributed.
Culture:
We like to build things people love. We keep things casual, non-political,
playful, and child-like. We've found creativity comes from a place of fun,
collaboration, and friendship. We keep our processes minimal, systems simple,
and communication casual. We hire talented people, pay above market salaries,
give equity, full benefits, the best tools — anything necessary to have fun
making great stuff.
The stars don’t align like this very often, get in while the team is small and
equity is on the table. Join us!
Skool focuses on SaaS, Software, Education Technology, and Edtech. Their
company has offices in Los Angeles. They have a small team that's between
11-50 employees.
