Crimson Education is the world’s leading college admissions consulting firm, with over 1,490 Ivy League offers and 2,410 to the US Top 15. We help ambitious students gain admission to the world’s top universities through expert-led guidance and proven, data-driven strategies. Crimson students are 7x more likely to get into the Ivy League than their peers. We were recently featured on thefront page of the Wall Street Journal.
Crimson is the only college admissions consultancy that brings together:
• Former Ivy League and Top 20 admissions officers to rigorously review and refine applications
• Professors and PhD teaching fellows from leading universities to guide students through original, independent research — with pathways to selective peer-reviewed publication or conference presentation
• Past ISEF winners and judges who coach students to compete for state, national, and international science fair awards
• Capstone project mentors who help students design and scale leadership initiatives with real-world impact, measurable outcomes, and credible external validation
We’re backed by leading VC firms, including Tiger Global, Heal Partners, IceHouse Ventures, and Movac, and recently closed a USD $40M Series D funding round at a USD $640M valuation. We now operate across 21 markets worldwide, including the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.
About Crimson Capstone
Crimson Capstone helps high-achieving students design, build, and launch real-world projects that demonstrate leadership, initiative, and impact for top university admissions. Many Capstone projects culminate in a public-facing website—whether that’s a startup landing page, nonprofit site, portfolio, campaign hub, or app frontend.
We’re hiring a Web Development Support Specialist to help students execute professionally, without turning Capstone into a coding bootcamp or overburdening mentors whose expertise is strategic rather than technical.
What You’ll Do
This role is hands-on, student-facing, and outcomes-driven.
You will:
• Support Capstone students in building, polishing, and launching websites tied to their projects.
• Help students translate a project concept into a clean, admissions-credible web presence
•
Provide guidance on:
• Site structure & UX
• Frontend implementation
• Deployment & hosting
• Best practices for performance, accessibility, and professionalism
• Troubleshoot bugs, layout issues, and deployment problems efficiently
• Recommend appropriate tools and stacks based on student skill level (e.g. Webflow vs React)
• Collaborate with Capstone mentors and ops to ensure web deliverables align with project milestones
• Step in during Classic & Elite packages where web/marketing support hours are included
This is not just about building sites for students from scratch. It’s about helping students learn just enough, build correctly, and ship something real.
Typical Student Use Cases
You might help a student:
• Build a landing page for a nonprofit or social impact initiative
• Launch a basic MVP site for a student startup
• Create a portfolio site (research, art, media, CS projects)
• Deploy a simple web app frontend
• Improve the design and credibility of an existing site before public launch or press
Required Skills & Experience
Technical
• Strong frontend fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Experience with at least one modern framework or tool (e.g. React, Next.js, Vue, Webflow)
• Comfort with no-code / low-code tools when appropriate (e.g Wix)
• Experience deploying sites (Vercel, Netlify, basic hosting setups)
• Bachelor degree from a Top 30 U.S. university (strongly preferred)
• Ability to debug quickly and explain clearly
• Experience explaining technical concepts to non-technical users
• Patient, structured, and student-centered communication style
• Ability to guide without taking over execution
Nice to Have
• UX/UI sensibility (especially for landing pages)
• Familiarity with student projects, startups, nonprofits, or portfolios
• Experience mentoring or tutoring students
• Understanding of what makes a site “admissions-credible” vs. amateur
Please note that this is a part-time hourly rate role and this role will be under independent contractor, and we don't sponsor any kind of visas for this role.
