Within our Early Childhood Education division, ProSolutions Training and the ChildCare Education Institute are the market leaders in early childhood training and certifications, trusted by educators nationwide as they pursue professional development and career growth.

To continue supporting this scale and to prepare for future growth, we are modernizing the platforms that power these learning experiences.

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will report to and work closely with the Director of Engineering for the Early Childhood Education division. You will contribute directly to the next generation of our training and certification systems by building modern, scalable services and applications using React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and AWS. You will also help maintain and stabilize existing legacy systems during the transition to new architectures.

You will join a small, high-impact engineering team that collaborates with product managers, designers, QA, and offshore development partners. The environment values ownership, clear communication, thoughtful architecture, and continuous improvement. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, contributing to modernization efforts, and building systems that have a meaningful impact on early childhood educators across the United States.
