Staff+ Software Engineer - B2B Platform

Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, California

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 Staff+ Software Engineer to own the backend architecture and scaling of our clinician-facing provider platform. This is a high-ownership IC role where you will define technical direction for core backend systems, not just implement features.

You’ll act as a technical leader across multiple engineers and teams, setting patterns for APIs, data modeling, and system design that others build on.

What You'll Do:

 

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services, APIs, and data models that power clinician workflows, reporting, and internal tools.
  • Own the scalability, reliability, and performance of backend systems and data pipelines in production.
  • Define and evolve the backend architecture, including API design standards, data modeling patterns, and system interoperability across teams.
  • Lead technical design for complex, cross-functional initiatives, partnering with product, design, and engineering stakeholders to deliver scalable solutions.
  • Act as a technical leader and force multiplier by unblocking engineers, driving design reviews, and raising the overall engineering bar across the team.
  • Partner closely with front-end engineers to ensure seamless integration of backend services into clinician-facing products and internal tools.

Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong backend focus.
  • Experience operating at a Staff+ level, influencing technical direction and architecture across teams without formal authority.
  • Proven ability to design and scale backend systems, APIs, and data platforms that serve multiple products or business units.
  • Strong system design experience, including distributed systems, data modeling, and tradeoffs around reliability, scalability, and performance.
  • Experience building and owning production-grade backend services end-to-end, from database design through APIs and integrations.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, Node.js, or similar backend technologies, with solid experience in relational and/or NoSQL databases and API design.
  • Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and turning loosely defined problems into scalable technical systems.
  • Familiarity with B2B SaaS, internal tools, or platform/integration-heavy systems is a plus.
  • Healthcare or regulated environment experience (e.g., HIPAA/PHI) is a bonus, but not required.

We are open to candidates across multiple levels for this role. Final level and compensation will be determined through the interview process based on experience, technical depth, and scope.

Expected Salary Range in Denver: $190,00 to $220,000
Expected Salary Range in San Francisco: $200,000 to $240,000

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
