About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Most engineers are handed a ticket. At SchooLinks, you own the whole journey.
Our Product Engineers aren't members of a feature team. They are the feature team.
You'll start from a problem or a goal, figure out what to build, design the experience, implement it, test it, ship it, and communicate it.
You receive context on a user problem or business goal, not a spec
You define your own requirements, break down the work, and manage your own scope
You make design and UX decisions, getting lightweight feedback when useful
You write the code, write the tests, and hold yourself accountable for quality
You communicate progress and outcomes directly to stakeholders

Requirements

What you’ll need

Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end, from ambiguous problem to production
Strong Python and React proficiency, built through real production work
Solid AWS and SQL experience in production environments
Comfortable with async task management and the operational realities of production systems
You define requirements from a problem statement, you don't wait for a spec
Strong written communication: specs, release notes, and documentation are part of how you deliver
This role is for engineers based in Austin, Texas, with the ability to work in the office 1-2 days a week.
Nice to have: Celery, Redis, educational data standards (Ed-Fi, One Roster), or genuine interest in ed-tech, career exploration, or workforce development.
