Senior Software Engineer

Location: Remote, USA

How you'll contribute to our mission

At Frontline Education, we believe every school thriving. Every community stronger. As a Senior Software Engineer , you will help transform how schools work so every educator and student succeeds. This role is weighted toward hands-on technical delivery: deep full stack ownership, strong architectural judgment, and high code quality, with team-facing leadership as a secondary responsibility rather than a primary one. You'll help build reliable, scalable, customer-centered technology that empowers school systems to operate more effectively while keeping people at the center of every decision.

How you'll drive success

Technical Delivery & Architecture

• Design and implement complex, cross-cutting features end-to-end, from scoping and design through production readiness and monitoring, across the full stack (frontend to backend to data layer).
• Own technical depth on critical modules or services, including performance, reliability, security and production readiness.
• Translate high-level product and architectural requirements into clear, well-scoped engineering plans.
• Dive into legacy codebase internals and make sound modernization trade-offs.

Full Stack & Frontend Modernization

• Build and maintain frontend components in React (this role uses React, not Angular).
• Work fluently across the stack: .NET/C#, REST APIs, Microservices, React frontend, and AWS cloud services.
• Contribute to the team's frontend modernization efforts as a hands-on contributor, not just an advisor.

Product & Cross-Team Partnership

• Partner with your Product Manager to shape technical feasibility and bring a customer-first lens to feature discussions.
• Coordinate with QA, DevOps, and adjacent
