About CodeYogi Foundation

CodeYogi Foundation empowers millions of Indian students who lack access to computers to learn professional coding and confidently pursue careers in technology. We're building a mobile-first, AI-powered learning platform — because 90% of students in tier-2/3 cities only have phones, not laptops.

We've reached 295K+ students across 9 states, with 48.6% girls. Our students build real web apps, advance to competitive programs, and land tech careers — all learning on smartphones.

We're a small, high-impact team of 17+ people, scaling fast. We need someone to help keep operations running smoothly.

You'll rotate through different functions, tackle diverse challenges, and develop into a versatile professional. This isn't about doing one narrow job — it's about proving you can handle anything we throw at you while growing rapidly.

This role is for you if:

• You learn new things quickly and enjoy being challenged
• You take ownership of tasks and see them through to completion
• You don't wait to be told what to do — you figure it out
• You communicate clearly and professionally
• You're hungry to grow and make an impact

• Own assigned tasks end-to-end, from planning to completion

• Close loops and confirm completion

Problem-Solving (25%)

• Use data and analysis to support decisions
• Test ideas, iterate based on results
• Learn from what doesn't work

Communication & Coordination (25%)

• Write clear emails, updates, and documents
• Coordinate across teams when needed
• Keep stakeholders informed proactively
• Escalate issues appropriately

Learning & Growth (20%)

• Pick up new skills and tools quickly
• Ask good questions and apply feedback
• Seek opportunities to contribute beyond your assigned work
• Document what you learn for others

• Problem ownership — You don't just identify issues; you propose and implement solutions
• Cross-functional collaboration — You've worked effectively across teams
• Business understanding — You understand how different functions connect
• Trusted by team — You're the person people count on
