About The Position

Frontera is reimagining how children with autism and other behavioral health needs get the care they deserve. We bring together world-class clinicians, technologists, and autism specialists to build cutting-edge AI tools that help care teams work smarter and spend more time with the children and families who need them most. Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and designed for the real-world needs of behavioral health teams - from psychologists to ABA therapists. By combining evidence-based care with powerful technology, we’re expanding access to high-quality services for families everywhere. Our Mission Frontera exists to close the care gap: every child, no matter where they live, should be able to access effective behavioral healthcare. The Role We are seeking a passionate and experienced Senior+ Software Engineer to join our growing team and play a pivotal role in building our Integrations Platform. You will own the systems that connect our platform with external partners, data sources, and internal services - enabling seamless, secure, and scalable data exchange. You will lead the design and development of integration architecture, including robust APIs, data pipelines, and partner integrations, while helping guide technical direction in collaboration with senior engineers and cross-functional stakeholders. This is a backend-leaning, highly hands-on technical leadership role, where you’ll spend approximately 80% of your time building and 20% driving technical leadership, coordination, and mentorship across the engineering team. You’ll help shape architecture decisions, unblock execution, and establish engineering best practices while remaining deeply embedded in the code. We’re looking for someone who is excited about technical leadership today and interested in potentially growing into formal people management responsibilities over time as the organization scales.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in full-stack or backend-leaning engineering, with strong experience building APIs, integration systems, or distributed backend services
Experience providing technical leadership, mentoring engineers, or leading complex backend initiatives across cross-functional teams
Experience building and scaling integration platforms, APIs, or data pipelines in production environments
Strong understanding of system design, distributed systems, and data flow between services
Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, zero-to-one environments
Strong product mindset - focused on building practical, reliable solutions that deliver real user and business impact
Excellent communication skills and ability to drive alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Interest in mentoring and growing into broader technical or organizational leadership over time

Nice To Haves

Experience working with third-party integrations (e.g., healthcare systems, EHRs, SaaS platforms, or partner APIs) is highly preferred
Experience working with globally distributed teams is a plus
Interest in healthcare and/or experience working with regulated data (HIPAA, PHI) is a plus
Familiarity with AI/ML systems and their integration into product workflows is a plus

Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of our integrations platform, including APIs, data pipelines, and third-party system integrations (e.g., EHRs, partner systems, internal services).
Drive the architecture and implementation of scalable, secure, and reliable integration systems. Establish best practices for API design, data modeling, and system interoperability.
Partner closely with product, design, operations, and external stakeholders to translate integration requirements into technical solutions. Collaborate across US and India-based engineering teams to ensure alignment and execution.
Own the performance, monitoring, and reliability of integration systems. Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks, data inconsistencies, and failure points.
Improve the experience for both internal teams and external partners by building intuitive, well-documented, and reliable integration workflows and tooling.
Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code while setting standards for the team. Contribute directly to critical parts of the system.
Support and mentor engineers through technical guidance, collaboration, and code reviews while helping foster a high-performing engineering culture. There is potential for this role to evolve into formal engineering management responsibilities over time as the team grows.
Stay current with best practices in distributed systems, APIs, and data integration. Continuously improve system scalability, security, and maintainability.
