Working at Coursedog

Healthcare, Dental & Vision
We follow a fixed contribution model to ensure equity and transparency. Each employee receives the same annual dollar amount to allocate toward their medical, dental, and vision coverage. This empowers you to select the plan that best meets your needs — whether it’s a base-level plan or a more comprehensive option.

Depending on the selected coverage level, the company covers:

Employee-only coverage: 99% to 55% of monthly premiums
Employee + dependents: 77% to 43% of monthly premiums

We proudly partner with Aetna and Guardian, and offer access to best-in-class wellness perks including:

Spring Health (mental health support)
XP Health (vision benefits)
Carrot Fertility (family planning)
One Medical (primary care)

We also support pre-tax savings through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).

Retirement Planning
To support long-term financial health, we offer a 401(k) plan from day one of employment.
Beginning January 1, 2026, we’ll provide a 4% employer match on your annual salary (subject to federal limits) for employees contributing to a tax-advantaged retirement account.

Paid Time Off
We trust our employees to manage their time responsibly. That’s why we offer an unlimited Paid Time Off policy — because flexibility and balance are critical for sustained excellence and personal well-being.

Remote-First Since Inception
We were built for distributed work. Our culture emphasizes flexibility over rigidity, outcomes over hours, and transparency over gatekeeping. We are committed to being a remote-first organization indefinitely, empowering you to work where and how you thrive best.

Equity
As a valued contributor to our collective success, you’ll participate in the upside. All employees are granted equity in the company, with vesting aligned to your role and tenure. Equity grants are reviewed and adjusted with promotions to reflect your evolving impact.

About Coursedog

Our mission is to break down barriers to opportunity for students.

Coursedog provides higher ed with modern technology solutions – empowering institutions, students, and communities across the globe.

Coursedog's founding story is rooted in the desire to help students achieve their highest goals. In 2018, Coursedog's co-founders and then college students, Justin Wenig and Nick Diao, were frustrated by how difficult it was to get into the classes they needed to graduate on time. After speaking with higher education provosts and registrars to better understand how academic scheduling works, they came away with a vision that permeates the company today.

Coursedog has raised $113M total capital as a remote-first, hyper-growth startup currently backed by JMI Equity, and with past investments from YC and First Round Capital. We were recently ranked in Forbes top 500 US startup employers and our employee engagement scores rank in the top 5% of tech companies.
