What is a Software Engineer at National Student Clearinghouse?
The National Student Clearinghouse is the nation's trusted source for education verification, data exchange, and student success platforms. As a Software Engineer at this organization, you will build, secure, and scale systems that handle millions of sensitive academic records, transcripts, and financial aid data points daily. Your work directly impacts educational institutions, students, and employers who rely on real-time, highly accurate data to make critical academic and professional decisions.
In this role, you will modernize legacy platforms, migrate services to cloud-native architectures (specifically AWS), and develop robust API-driven microservices.
