You've seen what we do. This is who makes it happen.
Learn more about who we are, how we work, and why we think that matters.
Be the change.
Covalence was founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 2015. In 2018, we took our entire operation and school online to focus on what matters most: reaching and helping more people, including ourselves.
Regardless of their previous experience, we provide our students with rigorous, in-demand curriculum and augment it with best-in-class coaching and support. But we don’t let any of that get in the way of life outside of work.
We work hard and play harder.
Forget about scale.
We’re more interested in impacting 100 lives immensely than arbitrarily expanding our enrollments to 1,000 to meet nonsensical external expectations.
We aren’t scaling for the sake of growth itself; we’re operating for the sake of staying in business indefinitely to continue serving our students to the best of our ability, better than anyone else.
We know our students by name, on a personal level, and we want to see them exceed their wildest dreams.
Put people first.
From working remotely to providing benefits that actually benefit you, we measure success differently.
You’ll never feel like a number here – and that goes for our students as well as our employees.
We strive to always make this a great place to do the best, most meaningful work of your life without getting in the way of you living it.
Our Values
We're people helping people.
Serve first.
Provide exceptional service, deliver what we promise, and serve our students and fellow team members with pride and purpose.
Focus second.
Guard yourself from distractions that deter you from focusing on serving our students first.
Take ownership.
Don’t pass the buck. Own your successes and your failures. Learn from them, and move forward.
Keep it simple and smart.
Don’t complicate things that have a simple solution. Everything doesn’t have to scale, but if there’s a smarter way to do it, do it.
Give a damn.
Our education is often transitory for our students, but the impact it has can be life-changing. Don’t forget that.
Be intentional.
All actions have consequences. Treat your work, your words, and your actions with the respect they deserve.
Meet the Team
At Covalence, you're not supporting Mega Corp Inc. or an Ivy League institution with a ludicrous endowment. You're supporting a small business whose success depends on yours, and that makes all the difference.
Our Benefits & Perks
Taking care of students starts by taking care of our team.
Work here, there, anywhere
We're headquartered with a home office space in Birmingham, AL, but we operate remote-first, so go ahead and get the job done from wherever it is you call home.
Earn a living wage
Our minimum pay is equivalent to the average starting pay for our Catalyst alumni, which is $60k per year, before other incentives and company-paid benefits.
Calm, cool, collected
We enjoy calm, 40-hour workweeks that enable us to do our best work. No high-stakes melodrama in the conference room here.
Medical insurance
Insurance should bring you peace of mind, not a pain in the ass. We have great health, dental, and vision plans from BCBS, and we pay the majority of the premium cost.
Save for retirement
You’re enrolled in our 401(k) where we automatically contribute 3% of your pay, even if you don’t, on day one. Choose between Traditional or Roth and all the low-cost, Vanguard index funds you can imagine.
Take time off
We love what we do, but we also need some R&R to do it well. Recharge with 3 weeks of PTO every year, plus your birthday, 10 federal holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year’s.
Open Positions
If we’re hiring, we’ll have our open positions listed below. Go ahead, take your shot. We don’t bite.
