Content Engineer

CourseCareers was started with the idea that our higher education system is broken. It's overpriced, outdated, and not serving as a reliable way for students to start their careers.

We're fixing that. We've gone to war with the system and are on the front line fighting back.

No more will students be forced into debt just to be able to have access to a decent career that doesn't even utilize their education. We’re the modern way people start careers. We help everyone, ranging from 18-year-olds using our program as a college alternative to people switching their careers later in life.

Within 10 years, we're going to bankrupt nearly every college in the US, saving millions from debt. More importantly, we're unlocking all of human potential in our economy.

Become a vigilante, and be a part of history!

We’re hiring a strategic, hands-on Content Engineer to make CourseCareers show up when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude how to start a career. You’ll be our first hire dedicated 100% to this emerging field, leading the charge as its leader with your own P&L, budget, and full decision-making authority over strategy and team building. This means your role will be much closer to that of an entrepreneur/CEO rather than an employee.
