For twenty years, our platforms have connected the disparate systems inside schools and state agencies - student information, educator credentials, special programs, instructional spend - into a single reliable picture that leaders can act on. Our software supports more than 1,800 districts and 20 state agencies across 48+ states, touching the educational experience of over 7 million students. Our fully remote team of engineers, data specialists, and former educators build products that reduce administrative burden and turn fragmented education data into evidence for smarter decisions.\nThe Engineering organization delivers the systems state education agencies depend on to manage their educator workforce and oversee the districts they serve. We build at the state level, where a single deployment carries every educator record, every district submission, and every compliance deadline in the state - which means reliability, auditability, and the security of sensitive personnel and student data are engineering requirements, not afterthoughts. Our platforms are how states respond to educator shortages at scale, keep credentialing current as requirements shift, and maintain visibility into district performance.\nThis role is on the Talent team, which delivers teacher licensure and credentialing, district and school accreditation, statewide teacher evaluation aligned to state frameworks, and talent transparency through our statewide educator job board. The team owns the workflows that move an educator from application to classroom, and the reporting that gives agencies confidence in the quality and completeness of what's underneath.\nThe Senior Software Engineer will report to the Software Engineering Manager.\nWhat You'll Do:\nServe as the technical standard bearer for the team, setting the quality bar through your own contributions and code reviews and holding the team to it as we scale across new state deployments.\nDesign, build, and own features end to end across a C#/.NET and SQL Server core, extending into React and Node (TypeScript) with Postgres on our newer products.\nBreak down large or ambiguous technical problems into approachable chunks the team can execute against, partnering with your Product Owner to sequence the work against roadmap commitments and state compliance deadlines.\nDevelop deep knowledge of the team's technical estate, including the integrations that move educator, district, and evaluation data between state systems, and understand how the pieces fit together.\nAct as a technical resource across the team, unblocking teammates and keeping delivery moving without becoming a bottleneck yourself.\nCollaborate multi-functionally with Product, Customer Success, and go-to-market partners, hearing customer problems firsthand and bringing an engineering perspective to what we should build, not only how we should build it.\nProactively find opportunities for optimization and efficiency across the systems you own, improving availability, performance, and the day-to-day experience of the agencies who depend on them\nContribute to estimation and planning, voicing recommendations, feedback, and solutions from a technical perspective and aligning to overall project goals to deliver on time and in scope.\nParticipate fully as a member of a self-managing Scrum team, committing to delivery alongside your teammates and sharing in team responsibilities including production support.\nRequired Qualifications:\nMinimum 5 years of professional software engineering experience.\nSustained history of owning a complex codebase, ora track recordof moving effectively between codebases, or a strong balance of the two.\nStrong computer science fundamentals-algorithms, data structures, and coding fluency-withdemonstrateddepth in a modern web stack.\nDeep hands-on experience with C# and .NET, including ASP.NET web applications and backend service development.\nWorkingproficiencyin JavaScript/TypeScript and a modern front-end framework.\nStrong relational database skills, including schema designand data modeling inSQL Server,Postgres,or comparable systems.\nWorking knowledge of a major public cloudprovider;we build in Azure, and AWS or Google Cloud experience translates well.\nExperience delivering at pace in an Agile team environment, including source control, CI/CD, automated testing, and production support.\nAbility to break down any technical problem into discrete steps as part of a credible solution plan, and to guide teammates toward solutions with questions rather than answers.\nA collaborator who believes in communal ownership of the work, shares knowledge freely, and helps others rise to the standard they set\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience working across both greenfield and legacy codebases, with comfort modernizing systems incrementally rather than by rewrite.\nDemonstrated history of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar on a team.\nExperience applying AI/GenAI tooling to increase development and support efficiency.\nAbove-average written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain a technical tradeoff to a Product Owner or a customer without flattening it or burying them in it.\nGenuine curiosity about the customer's problem and the business behind it, and a desire to work closely with the people closest to both.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5408,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T19:50:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":24,"band":"cold","label":"Long
