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 help build and scale Frontera’s clinician-facing provider platform. This is a true full-stack role with an approximately 50/50 split between front-end and back-end work, with flexibility for candidates who lean slightly backend.

You’ll work across the stack to build reliable, scalable systems and the user-facing tools that sit on top of them—such as report builders, dashboards, and internal clinical workflows. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, product, and design in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where ownership and impact are high.

What You'll Do:

  • Design, build, and maintain end-to-end features across the front end and back end of our provider platform.
  • Develop backend services, APIs, and data models that support clinician workflows and reporting.
  • Build and evolve data-rich web interfaces such as dashboards, report builders, and internal tools.
  • Collaborate with product and design to translate complex clinical and operational requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Write clean, well-structured, and maintainable code across the stack.
  • Partner closely with other engineers on system design, integrations, and performance.
  • Debug and troubleshoot issues across the application, from UI to backend services.
  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge sharing.
  • Stay current with modern full-stack development patterns, frameworks, and best practices.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in full-stack software development.
  • Strong experience with backend development (e.g. Python, Node.js, or similar) and working with relational and/or NoSQL databases.
  • Solid experience with modern front-end frameworks  (e.g. React, Angular, Vue or similar).
  • Experience building production-grade, data-driven web applications.
  • Comfortable owning features end to end, from data models and APIs to user-facing interfaces.
  • Strong focus on code quality, maintainability, and documentation.
  • Familiarity with web accessibility standards (WCAG) is a plus.
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, early-stage environment and enjoys building greenfield products.
  • Comfortable collaborating closely with teammates and working in person.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience building B2B SaaS or internal tools is a plus.
  • Experience working in healthcare or regulated environments is a bonus, but not required.
