About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Independently architect and implement bi-directional data integrations between SchooLinks and external platforms — starting with Slate (Technolutions)
Design, build, test, and document RESTful API connections, webhooks, and OAuth/SSO flows to support secure, real-time data exchange — taking full ownership of each integration from technical spec through production deploy. You’ll build using Python code running in our Django service and Lambdas on AWS.
Design ETL pipelines to map and transform student data across different schemas, handling edge cases, conflict resolution, and idempotency.
Set up monitoring, alerting, and observability for every integration in production — then own ongoing maintenance, incident response, and iterative improvements as partner systems evolve
Write the foundational documentation for this function — technical specs, API references, runbooks, and integration guides establishing the standard that future engineers will build on

Requirements

What you’ll need

4+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on API integrations, data pipelines, or platform engineering — ideally with examples of work you owned solo from design through production
Hands-on experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and OAuth — you've designed and debugged integrations end-to-end
Proficiency in Python, Pandas. Ideally have some exposure to Django as well
Experience with ETL patterns, data transformation, and sync strategies — including handling schema mismatches and real-time vs. batch tradeoffs
Experience building and owning testing infrastructure for integrations — you write the tests yourself and treat them as a first-class part of the work, not an afterthought
Exceptional written communication — you document as you go, write technical specs before you build, and ensure that internal and external stakeholders can understand your architecture and documentation
A self-directed working style — you can take a problem from ambiguous requirements to a shipped, documented, production-ready system without needing someone else to drive the process
Comfortable using AI coding tools as part of your daily workflow — we’re a Claude shop, but experience with any AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) counts
