CMMS Trainer and Interface Engineer

Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering/CS; 1+ years backend or systems programming; strong Python; experience with CMMS OpenMAINT; APIs and hardware integration; remote collaboration; on-site at high altitude.

Organizational Profile&nbsp;&nbsp;

Strong Family believes that every family has the inherent potential to thrive. Rather than&nbsp;treating the symptoms of crisis, we address the root causes of family breakdown and the orphan&nbsp;cycle through scalable, community-led solutions that restore dignity, strengthen caregivers, and&nbsp;promote long-term stability&mdash;particularly in developing-country contexts where families face&nbsp;systemic economic and social pressures.&nbsp;

&nbsp; 
Our strengths-based, technology-enabled framework equips local churches and community&nbsp;leaders with training, tools, and evaluation systems to support families holistically. Through&nbsp;digital platforms, coursework, and data-informed insights, Strong Family helps communities&nbsp;identify needs, mobilize local assets, and track measurable progress as families move from&nbsp; suffering to flourishing.&nbsp;

&nbsp; 
Strong Family is currently implemented across East Africa, India, and Haiti, where hundreds of&nbsp;local churches have adopted the framework and demonstrated sustained family stability and&nbsp;child well-being. Building on this foundation, we are expanding into additional developing-&nbsp;country regions globally, scaling a proven model that empowers families, strengthens&nbsp;communities, and creates durable, locally owned change.

Our Impact &nbsp;

The results have been more powerful than we ever imagined. Families not only find healing within themselves but also begin to change the trajectory of their communities. By empowering families to flourish in practical, relational, and spiritual ways, Strong Family is addressing a global crisis at its roots&mdash;creating pathways for children to remain where they belong: safe, loved, and within family.&nbsp;

Position Summary &nbsp;

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help build and evolve the technology that powers&nbsp;Strong Family&rsquo;s global expansion. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who has depth&nbsp;in one area of the stack and a proven ability to learn and contribute across new layers as&nbsp;product and platform needs to evolve.&nbsp;

You will work on systems used in real-world environments with intermittent connectivity,&nbsp;shared devices, and high expectations for data integrity. Success in this role requires strong&nbsp;engineering judgment, curiosity, and a commitment to building reliable, maintainable software&nbsp;that directly supports families, caregivers, and community leaders.&nbsp;This is an individual contributor role with meaningful ownership and long-term impact.&nbsp;

Your Responsibilities Include&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Own features end-to-end, from problem definition through implementation, deployment, and&nbsp;ongoing support&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Design, build, and maintain backend services, including data modeling and migrations&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Build user-facing applications across mobile and web, with an emphasis on clarity, usability,&nbsp;and reliability&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Support offline-capable workflows, including local persistence on mobile devices,&nbsp;synchronization, retries, and conflict handling&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; add monitoring and guardrails to protect&nbsp;production systems&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Collaborate closely with program stakeholders to translate real-world needs into scalable&nbsp;technical solutions&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Improve system quality and developer experience through refactoring, documentation, and&nbsp;tooling&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Learn and adopt new technologies or layers of the stack as the platform evolves&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Current Technology Stack (Subject to Evolution)&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Mobile / Frontend: Flutter, local persistence (e.g., SQLite)&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Backend: PHP / Laravel, MySQL&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Infrastructure: Cloud-hosted services, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

You are not expected to be an expert in every technology listed above. We value adaptability,&nbsp;sound engineering judgment, and a track record of learning over framework-specific mastery.

Senior Full Stack Engineer

Senior-level full stack engineer with end-to-end ownership, mobile app experience, backend and database design, API design, testing and monitoring, and strong collaboration.
