Build this with us

Survive Accounting is early and growing fast. We're looking for a handful of people to help build it — not a big company, a small team with real ownership of what they touch.

Here's the honest part: we can't pay most of these roles right now. Survive Accounting is self-funded, and we're looking at raising in 2027 if we aren't already generating steady revenue by then. What's on offer instead is a real seat at an early-stage company with a lot of room to grow into — for several of these, think of it like an internship: get in on the ground floor of something with real potential. Students are genuinely welcome to apply.

Tutor Content Creator

Teach your subject the Survive way — short, punchy videos built to actually get watched, not skipped.

What you'll do

  • Film short-form lesson content in your subject, using Survive's own filming and editing tools
  • Turn exam-style questions into scannable, quick-hit videos
  • Pick your own subject line — accounting is where we started, but organic chemistry, finance, and statistics are open, and if it's something else entirely, tell us what you'd teach

Who we're looking for

  • You know a subject well enough to teach it
  • Comfortable on camera, or willing to get comfortable — no on-camera experience required
  • Self-directed: this is a build-your-own-content role, not a script-reading one

Compensation

Compensation negotiated up front, and/or a royalty on what you build. We're flexible here — tell us what structure makes sense for you.

This one doesn't start until Summer 2027. No rush — we're just finding out who's interested.

National Campaign Manager

Run the campus rep program nationally — recruiting, campaigns, and the people who carry Survive Accounting onto campus.

What you'll do

  • Own the campus rep program end to end: recruiting reps, running campaigns, tracking what's actually working
  • Build and lead marketing pushes across schools
  • Work directly with Lee to set strategy, then go execute it

Who we're looking for

  • Experience running people or campaigns, or genuinely ready to step into it
  • Comfortable managing a distributed team spread across different schools

Compensation

Negotiated, likely with a commission tied to growth — the specifics get worked out directly.

Operations Lead

Help me delegate, build real processes, and get this ready to scale — we're about to bring on a wave of campus reps.

What you'll do

  • Work directly with Lee to figure out what should be delegated, and to whom
  • Build the processes and systems that connect everything else, as the team grows past one person doing it all
  • A separate seat from the existing VA management, on purpose — not a gap, a deliberate split so the same person isn't managing both sides

Who we're looking for

  • Organized, process-minded, comfortable asking "why do we do it this way"
  • No specific background required — this is about how you think, not a checklist

Compensation

Negotiated directly with Lee.

Platform Engineer

Improve the actual product — performance, security, and the day-to-day experience of using Survive Accounting.

What you'll do

  • Improve app performance and page speed
  • Strengthen security — including things like detecting shared accounts
  • General UX and product improvements across the platform

Who we're looking for

  • Comfortable in a real, live codebase, whatever your background — students genuinely welcome
  • Wants real ownership on an early-stage product, not a sandbox

Compensation

Commission-based, potentially tied to paid ad performance (Google, Facebook) once that's running — if it starts producing, you share in it.

Campus Rep

Represent Survive Accounting on your own campus — the rep program has its own application and dashboard already.

A résumé helps but isn't required — a few lines about why you're interested goes a long way.
