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 Director of Career Services Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote director of career services openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unfiltered general listings.
Show async leadership in your application materials
Remote employers screen for candidates who can run advising programs, coach staff, and manage employer partnerships without synchronous oversight. Highlight experience with Slack, Zoom-based coaching workflows, and written documentation of team processes to signal readiness for distributed leadership.
Quantify virtual career program outcomes
Remote hiring managers cannot observe your work in person, so your resume must do that work for them. Lead with placement rates, employer partnership numbers, and advising volume metrics tied specifically to virtual or hybrid programs you led or redesigned.
Target remote-first edtech and online university postings
Online universities and edtech platforms build their career services infrastructure around distributed staff from the start, making them more likely to hire and retain remote directors than traditional campuses converting in-person roles. Focus your search on organizations where remote is the default, not the exception.
Remote Director of Career Services Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote director of career services job?
Remote director of career services roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to lead distributed advising teams without in-person oversight. Edtech companies, online universities, and workforce development organizations are the most active remote hirers. Showing measurable outcomes, such as improved placement rates or employer partnership growth, gives you a clear edge over candidates who only list responsibilities.
Which companies hire remote director of career servicess?
Companies hiring remote director of career servicess right now include BK Behavior, One Medical, and Respiris, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first online universities, edtech platforms, and distributed workforce development organizations are the most consistent hirers of this role across the U.S.
Can you get a remote director of career services job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level director of career services roles are limited because employers expect you to operate independently from day one without on-site mentorship. Candidates who build experience through virtual career coaching, asynchronous advising programs, or coordinating employer partnerships for smaller organizations create a credible remote-work foundation. A portfolio showing documented outcomes matters more than a title.
Do you need a degree for remote director of career services jobs?
Usually, but the weight of a degree depends on the employer. Remote-first edtech companies and workforce nonprofits often value demonstrated results, coaching certifications, and experience managing virtual career programs over a specific credential. A master's degree in counseling, higher education, or a related field strengthens candidacy at traditional universities, while platform-based employers focus more on outcomes and leadership evidence.
