Help us build the future of school management.
We're a small, focused team building software that real schools depend on every day. If that excites you, take a look at what's open.
Our Principles
The principles that guide how everyone at AthenaStar works — with each other, and with the schools we serve.
Customer Obsession
We build for the people actually running the school day-to-day — administrators, teachers, parents — not for what looks good in a demo.
Ownership
If you spot a problem, you own it through to a fix — no waiting around for someone else to notice.
Craftsmanship
We'd rather ship something simple and solid than something flashy and fragile.
Honesty
We tell schools — and each other — the truth, even when it's "we don't support that yet."
Bias for Action
Small, fast, reversible decisions beat long debates. We ship, learn, and adjust.
Always Learning
The best engineers and support staff we know are still students of their craft — we make space for that.
How We Hire
A short, respectful process — no surprise rounds, no take-home tests that take a week.
Apply
Send your application through the job posting below — resume optional but helpful.
Intro Call
A short conversation about your experience and what you're looking for — and a chance for you to ask us anything.
Practical Round
A small, realistic exercise related to the role — never unpaid "real work in disguise."
Offer
If it's a fit on both sides, we move fast — clear terms, no back-and-forth games.
No open positions right now
We're not hiring at the moment, but check back soon — or follow our blog for updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — most roles can be done remotely. Where a posting specifies a location, that's noted on the job itself.
No. We care more about how you work and learn than whether you've worked in education before.
A short intro call, a small practical exercise relevant to the role, and then an offer if it's a fit — see "How We Hire" above.

Typically one to two weeks from application to offer, depending on scheduling on both sides.
