This role is responsible for contributing to and maintaining development patterns for the Product. This role has opportunities for technical people management, technical process management, oversight, development, mentoring, and the participation and encouragement of agile practices.

Overview
Are you a software engineer who takes pride in refining and optimizing existing codebases? Do you enjoy diving deep into well-established systems, improving performance, and ensuring stability over the long term? If you're seeking a role that values deep expertise, steady work, and a collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer 2 to join our team supporting and evolving a mature, mission-critical product. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys understanding how a large, existing system works and making thoughtful improvements over time. This role will be part of a seasoned Agile Scrum team focused on delivering high-quality software without the churn of constant greenfield development.

What You’ll Do

Analyze, refactor, and optimize complex T-SQL stored procedures and functions in a large SQL Server environment.
Maintain and enhance a legacy product built with .NET 3.5, improving system robustness and performance.
Collaborate with QA, Product Management, and other team members to refine requirements and ensure deliverables meet business needs.
Participate in Agile ceremonies (daily standups, sprint planning, retrospectives) as an active team contributor.
Support production issues, bug fixes and some product enhancements with a strong commitment to long-term system health and user satisfaction.
Identify opportunities for code and database optimization and implement changes incrementally.

Skills & Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field; equivalent experience
8+ years of experience in Software Development
Expert-level T-SQL skills, with the ability to review, understand, and optimize long and intricate stored procedures.
Strong knowledge of .NET 3.5, with experience working in mature .NET application environments.
Strong knowledge of Client/Server technology.
Experience working in Agile/Scrum development teams.
Comfort and interest in working with existing/legacy codebases over building new features from scratch.
Experience with RedGate tools (SQL Compare, SQL Prompt, etc.) is a plus but not required.
Solid understanding of software development best practices, including version control, testing, and code reviews.
Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and passionate about continuous improvement.

Who You Are

You value stability and are excited by the opportunity to work on the same mission-critical application for many years.
You enjoy methodically improving systems over time and derive satisfaction from polishing and refining.
You’re not chasing the latest tech trend—you believe in the importance of long-term ownership, reliability, and product knowledge.
You appreciate a sustainable work pace and thoughtful development cycles.

Frontline Education Vision:

A connected future for school administration that enables every leader, teacher, and

student to thrive.

Frontline Education Mission:

Partnering with the education community by providing innovative technology and best

practices to empower K-12 schools in their pursuit of excellence.
