About Remilon

Remilon is a web media company on a mission to make education accessible. We are a highly profitable, financially stable company looking to expand our team. We began our journey in 2002 as a self-funded start-up and have grown every year since our inception. As a small, independent company, our employees have a direct impact on company direction and results.

In October 2011, our flagship website, Education Portal, launched free, online courses that lead to real college credit. Over 400,000 students are now flocking to our free courses each month and we are just scratching the surface. We are seeking an experienced Public Relations Specialist to help us reach the millions who would benefit from free college education.

We are located in the heart of downtown Mountain View, just a few steps from the Caltrain station. We only hire top talent, so those who pass our rigorous interview process will find themselves as part of one of the brightest and most innovative teams in Silicon Valley.

We have a culture of social responsibility. As we post record profits, we give back by funding scholarship programs and helping charitable organizations provide open access to information and education throughout the poorest regions of the world.

Come join us on our mission and make a difference.
