Company Description

At HopSkipDrive, our mission is to create opportunity for all through mobility. We're the leader in safe, fast, and simple supplemental student transportation through our marketplace, connecting kids to highly-vetted caregivers on wheels. Founded by three moms as a solution to their own transportation challenges, we've facilitated more than five million rides across over 20 states. We continue to grow rapidly — earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 list numerous times and the Deloitte 500 Fast-Growing Technology list. HopSkipDrive is a Series D company and has raised $100M to date.

We're an AI-forward company, and we expect every person on our team to be too. We use AI tools to do our best work — drafting, analyzing, building, and shipping faster than we could without them — and we invest in training, share what works, and govern AI use thoughtfully. We don't expect you to be an expert when you start. We do expect you to be curious, willing to learn, and ready to use the best tools available to move our mission forward.

HopSkipDrive is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, veteran status, or any other protected class.
