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)
