About Civitas Learning
What is Civitas Learning?
Civitas Learning is the student-success company for higher education: its analytics platform helps colleges and universities identify which students need support, which interventions actually work, and where to focus limited advising resources. Founded in Austin in 2011 and backed by ~$89M, Civitas works with hundreds of institutions serving millions of students — its whole product thesis is that data should help real students graduate, not just fill dashboards. Its platform sits on top of an institution's SIS and LMS data, surfacing early alerts, measuring which support programmes move completion rates, and putting evidence in front of advisors — work that pairs serious data science with a measurable public-good mission across hundreds of campuses.
Where will I work?
Anywhere in the US: the benefits block promises a "100% remote work environment with the ability to work from anywhere (availability during U.S. business hours required)", backed by a "monthly stipend for home office" costs.
What is the Civitas Learning team like?
Around 160 people across product, engineering, data science, customer success and go-to-market — a mission-driven edtech team headquartered in Austin, Texas but hired remotely. Glassdoor reviewers rate work-life balance 4.3 across 127 reviews. Reviewers repeatedly single the schedule out — the biweekly Friday off is described as company-wide practice, not a paper perk — and the remote setup predates the pandemic-era conversions.
Work-Life Balance
The rare double: "Unlimited, flexible PTO" AND "Every other Friday off", stated together, verbatim, in the company's own job adverts — a genuine nine-day fortnight on top of trust-based time off, in a 100% remote company. Alongside the stipend trio (home office, professional development, wellness), adverts list full paid medical, dental and vision with a 401k match — the fixed-benefit backbone under the flexible schedule.
