Jobbeschreibung

• Directly build and ship the technical work each institution's onboarding requires – writing and modifying code, pipelines, and configuration to connect their systems to ours.
• Configure, validate, and troubleshoot data mappings, schema alignment, and data flows specific to each institution's environment.
• Anticipate integration risks and unblock issues independently before they stall a deployment.
• Build reusable technical assets: reference architectures, integration playbooks, mapping templates so that each institution onboards faster than the last.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for higher education institutions participating in the UDTS, partnering closely with the account/success manager on each relationship.
• Lead technical discovery: understand each institution's data landscape and translate it into integration and governance requirements and a recommended solution design, while being aware of the internal technical and product roadmap and constraints.
• Run solution design and architecture conversations with institutional IT, data, and IR teams, scoping integrations, defining data flows, and setting realistic technical expectations.
• Produce integration specs, and technical implementation plans tailored to each institution's environment, governance needs, and constraints.
• Translate our platform's capabilities and roadmap accurately back to institutions, and translate institutional technical feedback into clear requirements for internal Technology and Product teams.
• Partner with Engineering and Product to confirm proposed integration solutions are feasible and align with platform direction.
• Surface recurring technical patterns and gaps across institutions to inform product priorities.
• Maintain a clear, shared view of each engagement's technical status, open issues, and dependencies.

Requirements

• Deep alignment with DataKind's mission and values, and demonstrated commitment to educational equity and data-driven social impact.
• 5+ years in hands-on technical implementation, or solutions architecture, including direct client- or partner-facing delivery.
• Must have personally written and shipped production code, data pipelines, and system integrations, not just directed others.
• Able to independently configure and troubleshoot data mappings, schema alignment, and data flows; proficient in SQL and a scripting language, Python preferred.
• Comfortable running technical discovery directly with institutional IT/data teams and unblocking issues without routing to Engineering.
