About GetMyCourseGetMyCourse is an education and admissions technology company focused on connecting students with the right institutions and helping colleges build and manage their student acquisition journey.

We are building a technology-driven admissions ecosystem combining AI, CRM, automation, digital marketing, counselling, analytics, and institutional technology to make the admission process more efficient, transparent, and scalable.

As we scale toward the 2027–28 academic cycle, we are looking for a senior technology leader who can work directly with the Founder and take complete ownership of building the technology backbone of GetMyCourse.

Role OverviewThe Technical Co-Founder / Director – Technology, AI & Automation will be the technology engine of GetMyCourse.

You will work directly with the Founder to define the company's technology vision, architecture, product roadmap, automation strategy, data systems, and AI capabilities.

This is a 0→1, high-ownership leadership role.

You will not simply manage developers or maintain software. You will be expected to identify business problems, design technology solutions, build systems, integrate platforms, automate processes, and create scalable technology infrastructure.

The ideal candidate is someone who thinks like a CTO + Product Builder + Automation Architect and is comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment.

Who We Are Looking ForWe are not looking for someone who only wants to receive requirements and write code. We are looking for someone who can say:

“Give me the problem. I'll figure out the technology.”You should be someone who can sit with the Founder in the morning, understand a business problem, design the solution, build a prototype, integrate the required tools and eventually turn it into a scalable system.

Ownership. Curiosity. Speed. Execution.

These qualities matter more to us than a particular degree or technology stack.
