We all know great teachers change lives. That’s why Nimble’s mission is to help schools find and hire amazing educators for every classroom. Founded at Stanford University and backed by Y Combinator, Nimble brings a spirit of innovation to an industry that has often been overlooked by modern tech companies. Our software suite helps practitioners at all levels of the public education system address one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: recruiting life-changing teachers.
While some Nimblers are former teachers, others come from companies across the tech and startup world. What unites us is that we find purpose in our mission of ensuring all students have access to amazing teachers. We have a culture of high ownership and ambitious goals, complemented by employee trust and flexibility, which allows us to move efficiently without burnout.
We’re highly invested, not only in the mission, but also in each other. As a fully remote company, we’ve created rituals and traditions that allow us to bond from afar, and we look for teammates who will bring curiosity, creativity, humor, humility, and open-mindedness to work each day.
We’re a woman-founded company and a diverse team that has invested intentionally in creating a workplace where individuals from various backgrounds feel a deep sense of belonging.
Finally, while the innovation culture of Silicon Valley is in our company DNA and we have ambitious goals to transform the education industry, we approach our work through a lens of sustainable growth, rather than growth at all costs. This allows us to solve problems with freedom and creativity, without being constrained by the demands of outside investors.
We're looking for a senior contractor to help tackle some of our most challenging data and platform problems. You'll work directly with our engineering team on high-impact projects with clear outcomes. We want someone who can take an ambiguous problem, design the right system, and ship it fast with AI as part of how they work, while owning the context and the thinking behind those decisions.
