BetterCampus is hiring a summer full-stack software engineering intern (full-time). You'll ship student-facing products and internal tools on a modern stack: React, TypeScript, Next.js, Supabase, and Cloudflare.
BetterCampus started during COVID. George was still in high school, and Canvas had quietly become where everything happened — classes, assignments, conversations. It felt flat. So one night he started tweaking the code: a dark mode, better navigation, a small Chrome extension that just made Canvas feel a little more human. He put it online. Students found it. Word spread.
Around the same time, Jake was running another edtech startup helping students qualify for in-state tuition. A client mentioned an extension called BetterCanvas that students were obsessed with. He downloaded it, saw the potential, and reached out to George. They saw education the same way: too much software, not enough soul. George loved building. Jake loved scaling. It worked.
Today over 2 million students use BetterCampus. The team has grown, the product has evolved, but the goal hasn't changed — we want online learning to feel a little more like real life. Not building for students, but building with them.
- Product sensibility — you care about UX, speed, and polish, and you push back when something doesn't feel right.
- High ownership — self-directed, full-lifecycle builder who takes a feature from idea to shipped.
- Async-first — thrives in a remote, async environment with a lean, high-output team.
- Strong eng background — prior experience at a startup or a company with a genuinely high engineering bar.
Before applying, had you ever used BetterCampus (Prev BetterCanvas) as a student (answer honestly pls, just curious tbh)?
