Penji careers

We are dedicated to making college more effective for students through tutoring, coaching, and advising. We’ve signed deals at 90+ universities like Rutgers, Georgia, and Duke and are set to continue growing quickly. The higher education system is in need of major change. Schools are feeling intense pressure to improve, and Penji has found a customer-base that is motivated and excited to collaborate on building the future. We’re just getting started and we’d love to welcome you to the team!

Penji was born as a way to connect students to successful peers on campus, a.k.a. “Uber for Tutors”. 3 years and 35,000 sessions later, Penji forged its first university partnership with CU Boulder. This was a lightbulb moment: in partnership with a college, we could focus on our specialty, software, and learning centers could focus on theirs, delivering excellent education in line with their institution.

Since then, Penji has doubled down on building the leading platform to amplify the excellent services already offered by a college. We focus on three values:

- Lower the barriers for students

Most software in higher ed is built for administrators. Penji takes a different approach, focusing on student-friendly, accessible, mobile-first software. Our mission is to drive up usage rates of the school's impactful services.

- Impact graduation rates

Running a learning center is difficult enough - spanning hiring, budgeting, operations, and more. Connecting one's work to retention is often a step too far to think. We love helping our centers tell the story of their impact on students.

- Build a community

Penji can also play an important role as connector, helping programs learn from and support one another. To do this, we hold monthly discussions, conduct and broadcast learning center director interviews, and manage an active Discord community.
