Senior Software Engineer I Integration Platform Engineering

Role Description

At Frontline Education, we transform how schools work, so every educator and student succeeds. Our vision is every school thriving. Every community stronger.

We are hiring multiple Senior Software Engineers at either the I or II level to join our Integration Platform Engineering team. This team builds the APIs, eventing capabilities, and shared integration services that connect Frontline products, customers, and external partners.

In this role, you will help create APIs as durable products with clear interfaces, useful documentation, thoughtful lifecycle management, and dependable operational standards. You will design external-facing contracts around what customers, partners, and product teams need to accomplish, then translate those contracts into secure, scalable internal services and domain models.

Your impact will extend beyond implementation. You will help shape service and domain boundaries, influence technical decisions, strengthen engineering practices, and make integration capabilities easier for teams to adopt and operate. By improving how Frontline products communicate and share capabilities, your work will help our teams serve educators more effectively and contribute to stronger school communities.

Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Five or more years of professional software engineering experience (Senior Software Engineer I).
• Eight or more years of professional software engineering experience (Senior Software Engineer II).
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, and modern backend development.
• Experience designing, building, testing, deploying, and supporting APIs, microservices, and distributed cloud-native systems.
• Experience translating business, customer, partner, or developer needs into clear technical interfaces and contracts.
• Working knowledge of domain-driven design, bounded contexts, service boundaries, and domain modeling.
• Experience developing Kafka producers, consumers, or event-driven workflows.
• The ability to independently deliver complex features and services with a strong focus on quality, security, reliability, and maintainability.
• Experience contributing to technical design discussions and evaluating implementation tradeoffs.
• Experience with automated testing, observability, production support, and incident troubleshooting.
• Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to shared engineering practices.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools with thoughtful validation and sound engineering judgment.

Requirements

• Deep experience designing and evolving complex APIs, distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and shared platform capabilities (Senior Software Engineer II).
• Experience leading integration solutions that span multiple teams, services, products, or external consumers.
• Demonstrated success designing APIs as products, including interface definition, documentation, versioning, adoption, lifecycle management, and operational ownership.
• Strong experience applying domain-driven design to define service boundaries, bounded contexts, domain models, and integration patterns.
• Experience designing translation, adapter, or anti-corruption layers that separate external contracts from internal service implementations.
• Deep understanding of Kafka architecture, event-contract evolution, delivery semantics, resiliency patterns, and operational troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated success influencing architectural decisions, API governance, engineering standards, and platform direction.
• Strong systems thinking, with the ability to balance near-term delivery with long-term platform sustainability.
• Experience mentoring engineers, elevating team capabilities, and improving practices across teams or broader engineering groups.
• Demonstrated success improving quality, security, scalability, maintainability, and operational excellence across complex systems.
• Experience establishing responsible AI-assisted engineering practices and helping teams adopt modern development workflows.
