Job Description
At PowerSchool, we power education for students around the world. As the global leader in cloud-based K-12 software, we support the full education ecosystem—from the central office to the classroom to the home. Joining PowerSchool means being part of a mission-driven team that is transforming K-12 education by helping schools operate more effectively and deliver better outcomes for educators, students, and families. Our Research & Development (R&D) team is the technical talent at the heart of our product suite, overseeing the product development lifecycle from concept to delivery. From engineering to quality assurance to data science, the R&D team ensures our customers seamlessly use our products and can depend on their consistency. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in building and improving scalable, reliable, and high-quality software solutions that support our products and platform. You will apply strong software engineering fundamentals across the full software development lifecycle, including design, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing optimization. In this role, you will work independently on complex features and systems, collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, and contribute to sound technical decisions within your team. You will also use generative AI, agentic AI, and other AI-enabled development tools to improve engineering efficiency, code quality, and delivery outcomes, while applying these tools responsibly and thoughtfully. This is a senior-level individual contributor role for an engineer who can solve a broad range of technical problems, contribute to system design, support engineering best practices, and mentor less experienced team members.
