    ...

    Here are some of the languages & technologies we use: TypeScript, React, NextJS, TailwindCSS, MongoDB, Postgres (w/ Neon), Python, Flask, Golang, Gin, MongoDB

    Marketer

    Marketers are in charge of spreading the word about Nebula Labs, driving people to use our products and join our organization 🚀. Creating social media posts for Instagram and LinkedIn, planning events like all-hands and social, and booting at the SU are among the tasks assigned to Nebula’s marketing specialists. Marketers take innovation from the whole organization and spread it to the whole school.

    We primarily use Figma and Canva to make posts/flyers.

    Product Managers are the strategic visionaries who steer the entire product journey from inception to success 🗺️ . They're immersed in market analysis, user feedback, and business insights to shape a product's roadmap. Collaborating adeptly with designers, engineers, and stakeholders, they synthesize these inputs into actionable plans, ensuring seamless coordination to deliver exceptional features, prioritize enhancements, and refine the user experience, all while keeping an eagle eye on the big picture of the product's overall success.

    Info

    Our matching process exists to put new recruits in the best environment for them to thrive and help build strong teams for project leads. From our experience last year, we realized that a laissez faire approach to recruitment led to uneven and volatile team sizes that also left many recruits feeling uninformed and left behind. We believe that this approach will help project leads find all the team members needed to build out their projects, as well as provide recruits with a better experience within the org.
