Senior Frontend Engineer

About Minga

At Minga, we’re creating the Student Behavior Platform schools can’t imagine running without. We’re on a mission to make school life run smoother and have fun while we’re at it.

We’re a tight-knit team of curious, creative, and low-ego humans who genuinely enjoy working together. We care deeply about the work we do and the people we do it with, and that shows up in how we lead, collaborate, and celebrate.

Our culture is built on trust, ownership, and continuous learning. Whether you’re working from our Kelowna HQ or remotely, you’ll have the autonomy to do your best work, the support to grow, and the opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of educators and students.

The Role

We’re not just hiring for a position, we’re adding a teammate. Someone who wants to help build what’s next, take real ownership, and grow with us along the way. We’re not looking for someone to “build UI.” We’re looking for someone who can stabilize, modernize, and elevate our frontend platform. This is a senior role for someone who wants to shape direction, not just execute tasks.

Minga is used daily by thousands of educators and students. As we scale, our frontend is at an inflection point:
