This role involves developing and optimizing data delivery methods, data transformation orchestration, and customer-facing tooling. Key responsibilities include owning the new end-to-end Ed-Fi Assessment Outcomes API delivery system, supporting and enhancing internal and customer-facing UIs, contributing to Ed-Fi certification compliance, and building and improving data quality tooling.

Responsibilities

• Own our new end-to-end Ed-Fi Assessment Outcomes API delivery system — data transformation, pipeline execution, and customer-facing configuration tooling
• Optimize our AWS-based file delivery infrastructure
• Support and enhance internal and customer-facing UIs
• Contribute to Ed-Fi certification compliance: maintain field mappings, support certification testing, and evolve the system as the standard develops
• Design and maintain custom data transformation models that meet the specific reporting requirements of our partnerships
• Build and improve data quality tooling so customers and partners can trust the data they receive
• Mentor teammates and help establish engineering patterns for a growing data delivery domain

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with an emphasis on cloud-based data delivery and integration
• Advanced SQL and experience with modern ELT tooling (e.g., dbt)
• Experience designing, operating, and optimizing cloud-based data ETL pipelines that deliver data to external API endpoints and file systems
• Experience delivering data in an industry standard specification and/or robustly maintaining data contracts
• Experience building efficient, high utility internal tooling for customer-facing teams
• Experience with data quality tooling, error reporting, or observability for data pipelines
• Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with product and customer-facing teams
• Ability to lead and mentor others

Qualifications

• Domain-curious: Enjoy understanding WHY data matters to the people using it — not just moving it
• Ownership-oriented: Take pride in the systems you maintain and proactively improve them
• Collaborative: Work comfortably across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams to navigate ambiguous problems
• Adaptable: As customer or stakeholder requirements shift, iterate quickly and welcome evolving specifications

Bonus points

• Experience with Snowflake as a data source
• Familiarity with serverless or event-driven architectures on AWS
• Background in K-12 education data or state reporting
• Experience building or maintaining self-serve customer tooling for data integration management using modern UI frameworks
• Enthusiasm for working in a remote and geographically distributed Agile team using DevOps practices and AI tooling
