Backpack is committed to building and fostering an inclusive workplace by being intentional about our hiring practices. We have an extremely diverse team (despite being a small start up) and think that this gives us an extraordinary competitive advantage when building financial technology products for the education industry. Underrepresented candidates should consider Backpack because we offer an opportunity to both work with a diverse and ambitious group, but also because we are actually building products to help improve the accessibility and affordability of education in this country - something we are passionate about because it will create a more inclusive country.
