    About Empowerly

    Empowerly (Empowerly.com) is an education technology company that personalizes college and career counseling, with a mission to empower students to become the most successful version of themselves. 

    We provide data-driven education technology, start-up and research internship programs, and personalized counseling led by former Admission Officers and experienced College Admissions Counselors. We are a rapidly growing, mission-driven, and venture-backed company. It takes a unified team committed to our core values (collaboration, data driven, and empowerment) to achieve this goal and a fast-moving team committed to serving the needs of our students and families.

    Each student is holistically evaluated through our  Empowerly Score™ — the only predictive technology that can also quantify subjective material. Each student is offered a three-pronged approach to evaluate academics, essays, and extracurricular activities, providing them with a 360-degree view of how to be competitive against other applicants.

    We are a fully remote, global workforce focused on building world-class, college admissions advisory services and programs.

    • Track AI and modern web development trends and recommend practical adoption.

    What we’re looking for

    • 4–6+ years of professional full-stack development experience with meaningful ownership.

    • Experience owning services, APIs, and integrations end to end.
    • Production experience integrating AI models, LLMs, AI APIs, or machine learning features.
    • Technical decision-making experience and a track record of mentoring or reviewing engineers’ work.
    • Familiarity with AWS, GCP, or Azure and CI/CD pipelines.

    Nice to have

    • Self-hosted VPS or deployment/DevOps ownership.
    • Experience publishing or maintaining private npm or GitHub packages.
    • Startup or high-growth company experience.
