We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Full-Stack to join our growing product and engineering team. This is a hands-on role where you’ll design, build, and scale the systems that power student–university interactions. You’ll own critical applications and services that enable real-time data, automation, and integrations — and you’ll have the chance to shape product direction at a foundational stage. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments, loves architecting elegant solutions to complex problems, and wants to see their work make an impact on the future of higher education. WHAT YOU’LL OWN 🔹 Core Backend Development - Architect, build, and maintain scalable services, APIs, and applications, including our mobile application. - Drive improvements in reliability, performance, and security across distributed systems. - Automate onboarding and workflows by building ingestion jobs and database-driven configurations. 🔹 Collaboration & Cross-Functional Impact - Partner with product and data teams to design and deliver impactful features. - Work closely with Solutions Engineering and Customer Success to ensure seamless school deployments. - Contribute to system design discussions, technical decision-making, and mentorship within the team. 🔹 Continuous Improvement - Champion best practices in testing, code quality, and CI/CD automation. - Proactively identify bottlenecks and scale systems to handle high-volume data and transactions. - Stay ahead of emerging frameworks, cloud technologies, and AI-driven tools to keep us innovative. YOU MIGHT BE A FIT IF… ✅ You bring 5+ years of backend engineering experience — ideally in SaaS, EdTech, or high-growth startup environments. ✅ You're strong in Node.js and comfortable building with frameworks and languages such as Express, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, and other modern backend technologies. ✅ You have experience working with React and derivative frameworks, including React Native. ✅ You’ve built and scaled RESTful APIs (GraphQL a bonus) and know how to keep them clean, secure, and fast. ✅ You’ve worked across databases (Postgres, Redis, or NoSQL) and can design for scale, reliability, and performance. ✅ You’re comfortable in cloud-native environments (GCP preferred; AWS/Azure fine too) and can navigate Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform without blinking. ✅ You build with a security-first mindset — you know your way around OAuth2/OIDC, role- and policy-based auth, and compliance frameworks (SOC2, FERPA). ✅ You’ve touched CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability tools (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Sentry) — and you know they’re not “nice to have,” they’re table stakes. ✅ Bonus points if you’ve played with AI/ML integration (OpenAI, Hugging Face, vector search like FAISS/pgvector) or have a knack for developer productivity hacks using AI tools. ✅ You’re a self-starter who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, and you love the challenge of building 0→1. ✅ You’re a collaborator at heart — sharing knowledge, giving feedback, and celebrating wins with the team.
