Software Engineering, Team Lead

This is a full-time, 100% remote (EST) Software Engineering Team Lead opportunity with a mission-driven nonprofit that supports more than 1,100 colleges and universities across all 50 U.S. states and 18 countries. The organization builds and maintains a high-traffic platform used by over one million students each year to apply to college, explore financial aid, and access counseling resources. The technology environment is modern and cloud-based, centered on C#, .NET

Core/.NET 8, Angular (12+), NgRx, and AWS, supporting scalable and secure web applications that must perform reliably during peak application cycles.

This role is ideal for a hands-on engineering leader who wants to pair technical ownership with meaningful mission impact. You’ll lead and mentor a small team while remaining deeply involved in system architecture and development, helping shape technology that directly improves access and equity in higher education. The organization offers a strong virtual-first culture with long-term stability, opportunities to influence enterprise-level systems, and the chance to grow as both a technical leader and people manager—balanced with flexibility outside of peak application seasons.
