Web Development Support Specialist - Capstone

Apply now and join Crimson Education’s mission to shape future leaders, one Capstone at a time.

Apply for this job

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 the front 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 we don't sponsor any kind of visas for this role
