Location: This is a full-time, fully remote role, open for candidates across the United States. If you are not based in the United States, please do not apply.

Compensation: At Coursemojo, we are committed to equitable, transparent, and rewarding compensation for our teammates. We base our salaries for every position on three factors: 1) benchmark data for similar roles, 2) a candidate's level of experience, and 3) a candidate's geographic location. The salary range for candidates is $124,400-146,300 for candidates with 2-5 years of relevant experience, and $151,400-$178,100 for candidates with 5+ years of relevant experience. Where a candidate falls within those ranges will be determined by the candidate's local cost of labor (with Tier 1 labor markets like NYC & SFO at the high-end of those ranges, and the majority of US geographies towards the low-end). You will also receive new hire equity in Coursemojo.

Our Pledge to Diversity: Studies have shown that people of color and women are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they check all the boxes listed in a job description. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't believe you meet every one of our qualifications described. We are committed to recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse team. We have designed a hiring process that surfaces candidates' strengths, celebrates differences, and mitigates bias where we can so that we can hire the best and most diverse team possible.
