Senior Software Development Engineer

At BusPatrol, we’re transforming student transportation safety through cutting-edge technology and real-time automated enforcement. We're seeking a Full Stack Developer to be at the forefront of our engineering evolution—from a legacy monolith to a modern, microservices-based Automated Safety Platform.

As a Full Stack Developer, you won’t just write code—you’ll be a key driver in re-architecting our platform for scale, performance, and future innovation. You'll collaborate across geographies with engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver resilient, secure, and customer-focused experiences.

This is more than a development role—it’s an opportunity to lead modernization efforts, influence technical direction, and bring meaningful safety improvements to millions of children and families.
