Hello HN! We're looking for founding CTO ( engineering leader and builder) who can help us rapidly build out our vision for reinventing how people learn and grow in their careers with Scale Higher. https://www.scalehigher.com/jobs/technical-cofounder
Many of the most successful people rely on 1:1 coaches to unlock their full potential. We believe everyone deserves that same unfair advantage — especially for those who typically get less mentorship and advocacy at work: women and people of color.
Coaching and professional development is a 15B+ market and continuing to grow quickly. Several factors are driving this:
1. Companies need to help their people perform their best in order to win in this climate, and they need impactful benefits to retain their top performers. 2. People (especially younger professionals) are seeking out the 1:1 guidance they need to succeed — this started in the personal wellness & fitness market, and is a fast growing need in professional development.
Scale is different. Instead of thinking about ourselves as a services company enabled by technology, we think about ourselves as a product & technology company enabled by 1:1 services. In recent years, there have been notable success stories based on this approach: Future, BetterHelp, and Noom as examples.
We’re making a big investment in development and working with great partners like Metalab (the company who helped Slack build its first version).
You'd be working with two seasoned co-founders: Ravi Mehta, CEO is the former Chief Product Officer of Tinder, EIR at Reforge, and VP of product for TripAdvisor. Victoria Young has held product leadership roles at Netflix, Uber, and Facebook before leading growth for Share Ventures.
We've raised from notable investors experienced in and committed to the future of professional development (including Hiten Shah, Julie Zhuo, Brian Balfour, Steve Schlafman, Lenny Rachitsky, Adam Medros, Li Jin, James Beshara, Lee Jacobs, Cyan Bannister, and other investors we're excited to have on board.)
