  • Work across the stack: APIs, data pipelines, backend systems, and product workflows.
  • Partner closely with sales and customer success to support pilots, POCs, and full deployments.
  • Collaborate with engineering to scope work, unblock implementations, and ensure high-quality delivery.

  • Proficiency in Python or similar language for scripting, debugging, or prototyping.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to navigate ambiguity and design practical solutions.

  • Experience integrating with LMS/SIS platforms (e.g., Canvas, Clever, ClassLink) is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts or experience working with AI-driven products is a plus.
  • Low-ego collaborator who values clarity, ownership, and speed.
