About The Position

StudyTrack originated within Studyville and is now being developed as a standalone platform to bring transparency, accountability, and measurable outcomes to education. We operate on a simple principle: if it’s not tracked, it didn’t happen. Our platform enables schools, districts, and partners to track and verify service delivery and student outcomes in real time, ensure compliance across funding streams, vendors, and regulatory requirements, and provide auditable data to support decision-making, reporting, and accountability. StudyTrack is positioned to become a category-defining product at the intersection of education, data infrastructure, and public funding accountability. We are seeking a Software Developer to build and scale StudyTrack as a system of record for educational services, funding, and outcomes. This role requires an engineer who can operate at the intersection of application development, data infrastructure, and secure, compliant systems. This is a hands-on role. You will work closely with product leadership, data scientists, and other developers to design, build, and maintain core platform functionality that is reliable, secure, and scalable.
