About Stellic We’re building a future where every student can move through their education with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Our platform transforms the student experience, giving them the tools they need to make the right decisions about their degree plans, track their journey, and build an education and career path that’s truly their own. Stellic is a fast‑growing startup backed by leading social impact investors, partnering with top institutions like Cornell, Columbia, UVA, and Ohio State to support over 1 million students across 7 countries. As we scale to serve more universities worldwide, we remain deeply committed to this mission, driven by our values, and committed to building a high‑performance team that’s here to make a lasting difference on both students’ lives and higher education.

Up‑level our general engineering rigor and maturity by mentoring other engineers in best practices, design patterns, and code quality
Ensure a high‑degree of quality by designing robust testing strategies and implementing suites of reliable tests
Who You Are
