Web Development Support Specialist - Capstone

Crimson Education – Auckland, North Island

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.
