Working at Coursedog

Healthcare, Dental & Vision
We follow a fixed contribution model to ensure equity and transparency. Each employee receives the same annual dollar amount to allocate toward their medical, dental, and vision coverage. This empowers you to select the plan that best meets your needs — whether it’s a base-level plan or a more comprehensive option.

Depending on the selected coverage level, the company covers:
  • Employee-only coverage: 99% to 55% of monthly premiums
  • Employee + dependents: 77% to 43% of monthly premiums
We proudly partner with Aetna and Guardian, and offer access to best-in-class wellness perks including:
  • Spring Health (mental health support)
  • XP Health (vision benefits)
  • Carrot Fertility (family planning)
  • One Medical (primary care)
We also support pre-tax savings through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
Retirement Planning
To support long-term financial health, we offer a 401(k) plan from day one of employment.
Beginning January 1, 2026, we’ll provide a 4% employer match on your annual salary (subject to federal limits) for employees contributing to a tax-advantaged retirement account.

Paid Time Off

We trust our employees to manage their time responsibly. That’s why we offer an unlimited Paid Time Off policy — because flexibility and balance are critical for sustained excellence and personal well-being.

Remote-First Since Inception

We were built for distributed work. Our culture emphasizes flexibility over rigidity, outcomes over hours, and transparency over gatekeeping. We are committed to being a remote-first organization indefinitely, empowering you to work where and how you thrive best.
Equity
As a valued contributor to our collective success, you’ll participate in the upside. All employees are granted equity in the company, with vesting aligned to your role and tenure. Equity grants are reviewed and adjusted with promotions to reflect your evolving impact.
