ClassLink is seeking a Partner Solutions Engineer to join our growing Partner Services team.
The Partner Solutions Engineer is the primary technical guide for vendors, districts, and state agencies integrating with ClassLink’s OneData platform and Ed-Fi–based solutions. You’ll own the end-to-end onboarding journey: from scoping and data mapping through certification and post-launch validation, ensuring every partner achieves a fast, seamless, standards-aligned connection. Working alongside partner relationship managers, product teams, and state education agencies, you will champion best practices, resolve complex data challenges, and elevate ClassLink’s reputation as the most integration-friendly platform in EdTech.
You will also help local and state education agencies interpret data outputs and use integrations strategically, to improve data quality, simplify reporting, and drive instructional and operational outcomes.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Deep understanding of REST APIs, JSON/CSV data transformation, and SSO protocols (SAML, OAuth2/OIDC).
• Experience mapping data models—especially Ed-Fi, OneRoster, or equivalent educational standards—to custom schemas.
• Proficiency with tools like Postman, curl, and at least one scripting language (Python or JavaScript preferred).
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage technical and non-technical stakeholders—including school and state leaders.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Familiarity with major K–12 Student Information Systems (e.g., PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Aeries) and Learning Management Systems (e.g., Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom).
• Experience working with LEAs and SEAs to align integrations with compliance, reporting, and strategic planning.
• Hands-on experience writing SQL queries or building lightweight connectors for SIS and LMS platforms.
• Comfort with BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker) and data visualization to support analytics initiatives.
• Involvement in EdTech standards groups (e.g., Ed-Fi Alliance, 1EdTech) and a passion for interoperability.
  We are a team of passionate people striving to help improve classroom learning. We do this by making and delivering great products. We also like to have fun along the way.
