Staff Software Engineer - School Safety Platform

At GoGuardian, we're expanding our mission of helping every student learn, thrive, and feel safe. We're building a new generation of school safety products that help schools respond faster, operate more effectively, and create safer learning environments for millions of students and educators.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll be an early technical leader helping define and build category-defining products where software, hardware, and real-world operational reliability intersect. This is a rare opportunity to work on 0-to-1 products that directly impact student safety while solving complex engineering challenges across cloud platforms, real-time systems, device integrations, and large-scale distributed architectures.

The systems you'll build are integration-heavy, compliance-aware, and highly reliable. They must function in real-world school environments where timely information, operational resilience, and ease of use matter. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Principal Engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to shape technical strategy, establish engineering foundations, and deliver products trusted by schools every day. You'll work closely with principal architects to execute on technical strategy and ship v1 products that real institutions trust with safety-critical workflows.

If you're energized by ambiguous problems, building new products from the ground up, and creating technology that delivers meaningful impact for students and educators, we'd love to talk with you.

Every day, schools depend on technology to help protect students, support educators, and respond effectively when situations arise. The products built by this team will be used in real-world environments where reliability, usability, and trust are essential.

This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging problems at the intersection of software, hardware, distributed systems, and operational reliability while building products that have a meaningful and lasting impact on students, educators, and school communities.

The engineers who join this team will help define the foundation of an entirely new product area at GoGuardian and shape how schools leverage technology to create safer learning environments for years to come.
