About the Role

This is a full-time, staff level software engineering role where you will work as a technical lead and individual contributor on our Payments team. Payments is one of three product areas (along with Accounting and Student Billing) that are a part of our Financial Technology offering for our schools.

The Payments product is focused on building and improving our online payments platform, VC Pay, as well as supporting our payment integrations with other products within Veracross. Accounting is used by schools to manage their general ledger and accounts payable/accounts receivable. Student Billing is used by schools to manage charges, payments, and statements for students and their families.

Having an all-in-one integrated billing, accounting, and school information system improves the lives of school staff and families as it brings otherwise complex workflows into one streamlined systems.

This role includes technical leadership and mentorship for other engineers on the team. Candidates with experience with integrating payment processors (domestic and international) are especially encouraged to apply.

Our engineering team is remote-friendly, distributed, and has employees in a variety of states and contractors in several countries. While our headquarters is in Wakefield, MA and proximity to this location is a plus, candidates are encouraged to apply from anywhere.

  • Write and improve documentation for our FinTech systems and tools.
  • Integrate Veracross with third-party systems used by private K-12 schools.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
