Sr. Software Engineer; Full-Stack, Frontend-Leaning

Company Description

Tech Smart is an AI software and workforce development company helping high schools and CTE career centers prepare students for the future of work. We partner with school districts nationwide to deliver AI and software development curriculum, teacher training, and a learning platform that equips students with practical, in-demand skills aligned to entry‑level roles and emerging technology pathways.

AI is reshaping how we learn, work, and build software, and school districts are moving quickly to ensure students graduate with real, practical AI skills. Tech Smart exists to make that transition attainable for schools at scale.

With this focus, we are building a new AI‑powered learning platform to support scalable, AI‑focused learning experiences for high school CTE programs. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Full‑Stack, Frontend‑Leaning) to help design and implement the core user‑facing architecture that powers curriculum delivery, instructional workflows, and educator and student experiences as the platform evolves.

Tech Smart is building a new AI‑powered learning platform from the ground up to support modern curriculum delivery, instructional workflows, and data‑driven insights for high schools and CTE programs. This work is early, foundational, and highly collaborative. The focus is on building durable, maintainable systems simultaneously with features.

Engineers at Tech Smart work closely with Product and UX Design partners to shape how the platform evolves. You’ll have meaningful input into technical direction, system boundaries, and tradeoffs, with the opportunity to influence how educators and students experience the platform for years to come.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Full‑Stack, Frontend‑Leaning) to play a key role in designing and building the core user interface and experience layers that power Tech Smart’s AI‑driven web‑based learning platform.

This role is well‑suited for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning complex systems and working on greenfield products while still having access to mature supporting infrastructure. You’ll balance near‑term product delivery with longer‑term platform and design system investments, playing a critical role in shaping how educators and students experience the platform over time.
