Senior Software Engineer – B2B Platform Full Time

Frontera is reimagining how children with autism and other behavioral health needs get the care they deserve. We bring together world-class clinicians, technologists, and autism specialists to build cutting-edge AI tools that help care teams work smarter and spend more time with the children and families who need them most.

Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and designed for the real-world needs of behavioral health teams – from psychologists to ABA therapists. By combining evidence-based care with powerful technology, we’re expanding access to high-quality services for families everywhere.

Our Mission

Frontera exists to close the care gap: every child, no matter where they live, should be able to access effective behavioral healthcare.

The Role

We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer to own and scale the backend systems powering our clinician-facing provider platform. While this is a full-stack environment, your focus will be primarily on backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that support clinician workflows, reporting, and internal tools.

You’ll work closely with product, design, and other engineers to deliver high-impact, production-grade systems. There’s also flexibility to contribute to front-end work (dashboards, report builders, internal tools), but the core of your impact will be in building robust, scalable backend systems.

What You’ll Do:

• Design, build, and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models that power clinician workflows and reporting.
• Collaborate with front-end engineers to integrate backend functionality into dashboards, report builders, and internal clinical tools.
• Ensure reliability, scalability, and performance of data-rich applications
• Participate in system architecture discussions, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Debug and troubleshoot issues across backend services and data pipelines.
• Partner with product and design to translate complex clinical requirements into technical solutions.
• Stay current with modern software engineering practices, especially in backend development.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong backend focus.
• Expertise in Python, Node.js, or similar backend technologies.
• Solid experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases, data modeling, and API design.
• Comfortable owning backend features end-to-end, from database design to APIs and integrations.
• Experience building production-grade, data-driven applications.
• Familiarity with front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) is a plus, but not required.
• Strong focus on code quality, maintainability, and documentation.
• Thrives in fast-moving, early-stage environments with greenfield projects.
• Experience building B2B SaaS or internal tools is a plus.
• Healthcare or regulated environment experience is a bonus, but not required.
