Senior Software Engineer

5+ years of experience in software engineering

Strong fundamentals across front-end and/or back-end development — we care more about how you think and build than the specific stack

Experience shipping production software in a collaborative, fast-moving environment

Testing and CI/CD experience — you know what good looks like and hold yourself to it

Strong communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with Product, Design, and fellow engineers

A track record of ownership — you've taken projects from idea to outcome and felt accountable for the result

We're hiring across Platform, Progress, Integration, Explore, and Care.

Platform: Owns critical systems such as search, which underpins much of the user experience, as well as a growing set of AI-driven capabilities, including AI Analytics and the AI platform. These systems span both end-user-facing features and internal building blocks used across the product.

Plan: Owns the systems that enable students to plan their academic journey, including degree planning & pathways, scheduling, and registration.

Progress: Owns Stellic's Degree Progress product, which enables students and administrators to track progress toward degree requirements and academic goals.

Integration: Responsible for the critical bridge between university Student Information Systems (SIS) and Stellic. This integration layer is foundational to ensuring that Stellic's data remains accurate, up-to-date, and trustworthy.

Explore: Owns Stellic's newest product, focused on helping prospective and transfer students plan their academic pathways before enrolling at an institution.

Care: Builds software for academic advisors. The product brings student support data and interactions into one shared profile so advisors can prioritize outreach and follow up earlier, leaders can see how support is working, and students experience continuity instead of starting over each time they ask for help.

While we plan on introducing new technologies and capabilities, and potentially migrating away from current ones, here is the general shape of our current stack:

Languages: Python, SQL

Frameworks: Django, Angular, React, Remix

Databases: PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, Redis

Version control: Git (GitHub)

Cloud: AWS

Deployment: AWS CodeDeploy

Observability & Analytics: Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus, PostHog, Metabase

Architecture: Both single and multi-tenant
