Merit: An Island of Misfit Toys

Welcome to Merit, a quirky and unconventional software company that's small in size but big on personality. We've made our mark in the industry by creating a unique software product that colleges can't get enough of. We're not here to disrupt the world or break things, but we're proud of our 90%+ annual subscription renewal rate. In other words, our customers seem to like us quite a bit.

A Flat Hierarchy

At Merit, we don't believe in a heavy-handed management style. We're a flat organization where self-direction and collaboration are the order of the day. We're a team of generalists, each with our own unique strengths, working together to create something special. We're not just colleagues, we're friends.

Diversity and Inclusion

We're proud to be known as an "island of misfit toys". We don't care about resumes and credentials, we care about you. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and identities. At Merit, you're not just another cog in the machine, you're a valued member of our team bringing a unique perspective to our work.

Curiosity and Learning

We're a curious bunch with a thirst for knowledge. We don't just want you to code, we want you to explore, learn and grow. We don't care about your GitHub portfolio, we care about your eagerness to learn and your ability to communicate. We're a small team, but we're not afraid to become experts in new things.

Benefits and Balance

We believe in taking care of our team. We offer competitive pay, a platinum health care plan (we pick up 100% of the premiums for you and your family), and matching retirement plan contributions. We also believe in a healthy work-life balance. That's why we insist you take plenty of vacation time, and we're flexible with appointments and other commitments outside of work. Remote work? Absolutely, if that's what works best for you.

The Merit Way

So, if you're interested in joining our merry band of misfits, drop us a line. We don't just want to see your resume, we want to hear your story. We believe that your writing is an excellent proxy for the quality of your thinking. So, go ahead, surprise us, delight us, and show us why you're the perfect fit for Merit. We can't wait to hear from you!
