About Procare

Our mission is to simplify childcare operations and create meaningful connections by providing technology, expertise, and unparalleled service.

Procare Solutions is the number 1 name in childcare software – used by more than 35,000 childcare businesses across the country. For over 30 years, childcare professionals have looked to Procare to provide real-time information for making critical decisions, maintaining compliance with local and state regulations, and adhering to business best practices.

We make childcare management run smoothly, so that our customers can spend more time focusing on the kiddos, not back office administrative duties.

A Little About the Role

As a Lead Software Engineer on our team you will help build, maintain, and direct a best-in-class SaaS web and mobile solution. We have built a solution which enables childcare organizations to efficiently and intuitively manage their business, so they can focus on the children. The demands for these organizations are high and you will be a part in helping our customers easily manage their growing business complexity by making their daily demands simple to navigate. This includes features to enable communication with teachers, parents and leads; tracking and recording daily activities for children, staff schedules and payroll as well as customer billing to name a few. You’ll be a key member of our growing engineering team while we expand on existing features and deliver new functionality. This role may be focused on feature delivery or developer enablement depending on the candidate’s area of interest. Our fast-paced, agile environment uses modern technologies where you will help optimize our code and cloud infrastructure for stability and performance. We value self-starters with the ability to communicate ideas effectively and contribute to our culture of respect, dedication, and fun. Clean code, principles over dogma, and balancing the pull between practical vs perfect solutions round out the qualities we seek and value.

An Insider's view of Procare Solutions

What’s the vibe like in the office?

The Denver office has a professional yet laid back vibe. I think we really have a "get business done while having fun" mentality. It truly feels like a team effort regardless of which department you work in - we succeed together.

How does the company support your career growth?

I’m pretty new to the marketing world. I started in the MDR role a year ago. I was able to learn the basics not only in marketing but of the company in general. More recently, I’ve moved into a demand generation specialist role which I’m so excited about. Now, I have the opportunity to learn another side of marketing and dive deeper into it.

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Two of our values are Elevate One Another and Respect all Perspectives, and being accessible is key. In addition to welcoming a stop by my office or message via Slack or email, my calendar is open for employees to schedule time to talk, collaborate on an idea, share an opportunity for process improvement, or get my perspective on their career goal
