Senior Software Engineer on the team modernizing LINQ's USDA Child Nutrition Programs platform (claims, compliance, reporting for state agencies) off legacy ASP.NET WebForms onto Angular 17+ / .NET 10 on AWS. Day to day: design-through-production ownership on a cross-functional scrum team, architectural guidance, and mentoring, using C#, PostgreSQL, and AWS services.
We’re a high-growth software company with a big mission: empowering K-12 district teams to do more with less.
At LINQ, we get K12. That’s why we help districts transform K-12 school operations with best-in-class, cloud-based software solutions built to help districts return more resources to classrooms. Integrating finance, HR, nutrition management, and payments into a single, secure platform, LINQ reduces administrative burden. LINQ is trusted by 30% of school districts across the U.S. to help them operate more efficiently and serve over 1 billion meals to 17 million students annually, process payroll for 364,000 educators, administrators, and staff, and engage with millions of families through the free LINQ Connect app.
Our team? They’re talented, committed, and fiercely loyal problem-solvers. At LINQ, you’ll find challenging and meaningful work, a team that respects and uplifts one another, and a commitment to constant improvement. Our customers love us because we’re attentive, patient, communicative, and solutions focused.

About the Team
You'll join the team behind LINQ's platform for administering USDA Child Nutrition Programs, supporting claims, compliance, and reporting for state agencies. This platform is being modernized off of ASP.NET WebForms and onto a new Angular and .NET stack running on AWS, and you'll play a direct role in that migration.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer at LINQ, you will work closely with a cross-functional scrum team to deliver business-critical applications, while also driving collaboration across teams on shared deliverables. You will own functionality from early design through production, designing solutions and providing guidance on risk and technical tradeoffs. You are capable of quickly learning new business domains, mentoring less-experienced engineers, and are passionate about delivering high quality, maintainable software to the business.
