ALBUM

At EdSights, we’re building technology that helps colleges and universities better understand and support their students—at scale. Our platform amplifies the student voice in real time, giving institutions the insights they need to improve outcomes and retention. Today, we partner with 250+ colleges and universities across the country and are growing quickly.

We’re backed by a recent $80M investment from JMI Equity and are in a phase of rapid execution and expansion. This role is an opportunity to do meaningful, hands-on work at a high-growth startup tackling one of higher education’s most urgent problems: helping more students access college—and supporting them all the way through graduation.

You’ll join a driven, thoughtful team that values ownership, moves quickly, and cares deeply about building products that make a measurable difference for students.

“EdSights has perhaps the world’s most valuable data set on what college students need to navigate their academic lives.”
