NextSteps is founded by university students and industry professionals who saw a gap in soft-skill engineering tools and decided to build what we wished existed—an accessible platform to help engineers track job opportunities, prepare for interviews, and grow their careers. As daily users of open-source tools, we understand the frustration of paywalls and subscriptions, which is why we are committed to keeping NextSteps a no-profit. Our mission is simple: put engineers first, remove barriers, and provide the tools we all need to succeed.
