Shape the future of student transportation.

At BusRight, we’re replacing pen-and-paper logistics with real-time, intelligent routing software. Our platform powers live location tracking, ETA notifications, operational dashboards, and route optimization for schools, families, and drivers across the U.S.

We’re looking for a senior fullstack engineer — someone who can own both frontend and backend implementation, with a primary strength in frontend architecture and user experience. You’ll help improve performance, define modular UI systems, mentor engineers, and ship fullstack features end-to-end.

Role Overview

As a Senior Fullstack (Frontend-Focused) Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping our engineering culture, development processes, and roadmap.

Joining our engineering team means:

• Designing and building performant UIs for data-heavy, real-time features such as maps, live dashboards, and large tables

• Developing frontend modules using React, TanStack tools (React Query, Table), and CSS Modules

• Owning fullstack features end-to-end, including backend APIs in Node.js where needed

• Collaborating within a monorepo (Nx) to share code across frontend and backend boundaries

• Continuously improving UI rendering performance, DX, and maintainability

• Working closely with product, design, and engineering teams to create intuitive, reliable user experiences

• Participating in brainstorming sessions, customer feedback forums, and product ideation

Requirements

• You have 5+ years of experience building production-grade web applications

• You’re highly proficient in TypeScript, React, and modern frontend architecture

• You have deep experience with component design, state management, and performance tuning

• You have deep knowledge of React performance tuning, virtualization, and rendering strategies

• You’ve built and scaled UIs that render complex data (e.g., tables, maps, dashboards) efficiently

• You have a practical understanding of SOLID principles

• You Have a good understanding of UI/UX design principles and a passion for creating user-friendly interfaces

• You’re comfortable implementing or collaborating on REST APIs and backend logic using Node.js

• You’ve deployed and maintained frontend apps with a focus on reliability, observability, and developer experience

• You’re comfortable taking ownership of projects — from design to deployment and beyond

• You mentor other engineers and contribute to growing team capabilities

• You proactively identify problems and opportunities, not just waiting for tickets

• You collaborate effectively across teams and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical peers

• You think critically, challenge assumptions, and make pragmatic technical decisions

• You adapt quickly to new information, shifting priorities, or feedback

• You care how your work connects to the broader product and company goals

• You embody our engineering values: learning from mistakes, collaboration, ownership, simplicity, and long-term thinking

• You embody our company values (more here)

• You have experience using shared code and types in a monorepo environment (e.g., Nx)

• A strong understanding of loosely coupled architectures and their long-term benefits

• Familiarity with refactoring techniques to improve codebase structure and maintainability

• Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) and modern testing best practices

• Design sensibility and experience working closely with designers or building component libraries
