The Role
What You’ll Work On
- Build and maintain python backend services with guidance from senior engineers
- Help build the agent-driven tooling, pipelines, and checks we use to create reusable Rally supply chains
- Work with AI coding agents every day, and help the team find where agents can take on more of the work and where a person still needs to decide
- Write and optimize database queries and REST APIs
- Establish trust in your work with effective development-loop tests
- Take part in code reviews, and ask questions to learn the codebase and the technologies behind it
- Work with customers and customer-facing teams to understand the use cases behind your work
- Take part in design discussions, and apply the feedback you get on your own designs
What Success Looks Like
- First 90 days. You’ve shipped production changes with guidance, use AI agents as a normal part of how you deliver, can find your way around the code you work in, and take part in code reviews.
- First year. You own part of the tooling we use to create reusable supply chains, deliver changes from design to production with little guidance, and have helped change how the team uses AI to ship.
What You’ll Bring
- Curiosity about new systems and technologies, and the habit of reading the docs and code before asking, then asking good questions
- Clear, accurate communication about your work, and honesty about what you don’t know yet
- Some experience building backend software in a mainstream server-side language, from work, internships, or your own projects. We mostly use Python, but value being able to read and understand many languages over fluency in any one. If your strongest language is something else, you should be able to read Python and understand it thoroughly.
- A working understanding of REST APIs and relational databases
- Experience writing automated tests for your own code
- Hands-on experience building software with AI coding agents, interest in pushing how far they can go, and the habit of checking what they produce
Nice to Have
- Experience with FastAPI, Flask, SQLAlchemy, or PostgreSQL
- Experience with Docker and containerized deployments
- Experience with a mainstream cloud platform, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Exposure to distributed systems or data pipelines
- Familiarity with professional media formats, such as codecs, container formats, and metadata, and how media supply chains use them
How We Work
- We’re small and distributed. Most of our collaboration happens over Slack and Zoom, across time zones. You’ll own what you build, and you’ll work closely with people outside your immediate team.
- Engineers stay close to customers. You’ll hear directly from the people using what you build. When something goes wrong in production, the team that owns the code helps fix it.
- We dig for root causes. When something breaks, we find out why instead of patching the symptom and moving on.
- We ship, then refine. We work in short sprints and improve things over time instead of waiting for a perfect first version.
How We Use AI
Logistics
- This is a remote role, open to candidates across the United States
- Occasional travel may be required, but is not core to this role
- Interview process: introductory call, AI proficiency interview, team technical interview, interview project, interview project presentation, and founders interview

Tips for Your Remote College and Career Advisor Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote college and career advisor openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated postings.
Show async advising skills up front
Remote employers screen for advisors who communicate clearly in writing without back-and-forth. Lead your resume and cover letter with examples of email caseload management, written student plans, or asynchronous check-in systems you have used.
Build a virtual advising portfolio
Compile anonymized student success outcomes, session notes structure, and resource guides you have created. Remote hiring managers cannot observe you in person, so a short portfolio of your advising approach and results closes that gap fast.
Target remote-first edtech and online college employers
Online degree programs, edtech platforms, and national workforce nonprofits hire college and career advisors remotely more consistently than traditional campus employers. Focus your search on organizations whose entire advising team is already distributed rather than hybrid programs adding one remote seat.
Remote College and Career Advisor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote college and career advisor job?
Remote college and career advisor roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong written communication, and comfort managing caseloads without in-person supervision. Edtech platforms, online colleges, and distributed nonprofit programs are the most consistent remote hirers. What gives you an edge is showing concrete outcomes with students or clients, fluency with virtual advising tools like video conferencing and case management software, and a portfolio of work that holds up without a face-to-face interview.
Which companies hire remote college and career advisors?
Employers currently hiring remote college and career advisors include BK Behavior, One Medical, and Respiris, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings in this role tend to cluster at online universities, edtech companies, and national workforce development nonprofits with distributed program teams.
Can you get a remote college and career advisor job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal oversight. Online colleges and edtech startups are most likely to hire junior advisors remotely. You can substitute direct experience with volunteer advising, peer mentoring, or internship work, and showing strong written communication skills and familiarity with virtual student support platforms goes a long way.
Do you need a degree for remote college and career advisor jobs?
Usually, but the field requirement varies by employer. Most remote roles, especially at accredited colleges and regulated workforce programs, expect at least a bachelor's degree, often in counseling, education, or a related field. Some edtech and nonprofit employers weigh demonstrated advising results, relevant certifications, and client outcomes alongside or instead of a specific degree when the work history is strong.
