About Packback
Packback (www.packbackbooks.com) is a quickly growing, funded ed-tech startup disrupting a multi-billion dollar textbook industry with some of Chicago’s best behind us as investors, including Mark Cuban (owner Dallas Mavs), Mark Achler (Former SVP Redbox), and Howard Tullman (CEO 1871), among others.
We are 6 months fresh out of a successful public launch, have closed a seed round of funding backed by powerful Chicago investors, and are on the heels of our airing on the ABC hit TV show “Shark Tank”. We’re growing and scaling faster than ever, and are looking for a front-end engineering ally to join us in our office in scenic downtown Chicago, where you'll be developing tools to help the Packback team redefine the college textbook industry.
