Job Description

About the Role

At FronteraCare, we're not just providing ABA therapy, we're transforming how behavioral health is delivered. Born from firsthand experience with the delays and inefficiencies in today's diagnostic and therapeutic systems, FronteraCare was created to bridge the gap between families and the care they need.

We do this by combining compassionate, culturally informed clinical care with innovative technology that supports rather than replaces clinicians, making care more precise, accessible, and sustainable.

We're seeking a mission-driven, technology-forward Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join our team in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as we expand our presence in the region. This is a hybrid role based locally in Albuquerque, combining in-person and telehealth care as our pipeline in this market grows. In the meantime, you'll also support clients in Espanola and Santa Fe, with travel to those regions required at least biweekly.

This is more than a clinical role, it's a leadership opportunity. As a BCBA at Frontera, you'll be at the forefront of an innovative care model that leverages digital phenotyping, intelligent assessment tools, and asynchronous supervision technology to expand access and improve outcomes.

You'll lead and mentor RBTs with intention, ensuring high-quality implementation and meaningful professional development, while helping build our footprint in the Albuquerque market from the ground up.

If you believe in the power of technology to transform care without compromising clinical integrity, and if you're passionate about guiding and growing the next generation of behavior technicians, we want to hear from you.
