Senior Software Engineer

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 teams on shared components and deployment practices.
• Flag cross-team dependencies early.

Technical Mentorship

• Lead code reviews and design discussions, sharing technical judgment with the team.
• Mentor engineers through pairing and review while modeling engineering rigor, ownership, and craftsmanship.

Technical Growth & Impact

• Engage in team-level technical discussions on roadmap direction and platform evolution.
• Proactively identify technical debt and propose scalable solutions.
• Balance tactical delivery with long-term architectural considerations.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience or equivalent impact in progressively senior technical roles.
• Demonstrated full stack proficiency: .NET/C#, REST APIs, cloud services, and React.
• Proven ability to deliver complex features end-to-end, with strong individual technical depth.
• Experience with legacy codebases and system design trade-offs.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Codex or GitHub Copilot to design, develop, test and deliver products
• Clear communication skills, able to translate technical complexity for both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in SaaS, multi-tenant platforms, or large distributed systems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, test automation, observability tooling, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or equivalent).
• Track record of improving engineering standards or tooling.

What you’ll need to thrive

Level of Influence Primarily technical influence within feature and component scope, with less emphasis on cross-team or team-leadership visibility than a formal tech lead role.

Decision Ownership Make independent technical decisions within your feature area, collaborating with senior engineers and architects on broader trade-offs.

Success Metrics

• Delivery quality, predictability, and system reliability across owned components.
• Depth and quality of full stack technical contributions (React frontend included).
• Effective collaboration with the team, without primary accountability for team output.
