Remote Software Engineer Intern - Winter/Spring/Summer 2021
Are you a college student with an entrepreneurial spirit? Are you passionate about education and/or health technology? Consider joining Passable for the winter, spring, or summer!
About Us
The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in an exceptionally difficult time for tens of millions of Americans displaced and disenfranchised by uncertainty. Uncertainty in healthcare, job security, and the broader economy. This uncertainty holds especially true within our K-12 schools, where there are serious health concerns related to the pandemic, along with broader security concerns characteristic of the 21st century.
To alleviate this uncertainty, at Passable, we are building a digital hall-pass solution that provides schools with an accurate record of student movement on campus. Features like contact tracing, capacity tracking, and emergency alerts provide safety and security in day-to-day classroom function while eliminating much of the friction currently associated with issuing hall-passes. K-12 hallways are finally getting an upgrade.
As we begin the process of on-boarding school districts, we are looking to expand our rapidly growing team with engineering talent to work on impactful products and internal tools. Through our support from the Tuck Startup Incubator and the Magnuson Center Entrepreneurship Grant, we aim to continue making hallways safer across the country.
