We are looking for an innovative, self-starting, and critical-thinking team member to join our Academic Operations Analytics (AOA) Engineering team.

You will be fully immersed in the ongoing integration management (development, maintenance and troubleshooting along with expansion and roll-out) of our multi-faceted Curriculum Analytics and Course Demand Projects products, integrating with Banner, Degree Works, PeopleSoft, Workday and other Student Information Systems (SISs).

This individual will be the de facto integrations owner on the AOA team. They will become an expert in Coursedog’s student and student audit integrations across SISs, and will drive expansion and maintenance. They will collaborate closely with the rest of the AOA pod to ensure product changes are compatible with existing integrations/schema, and that integrations issues are resolved quickly and effectively to unblock implementations.

Because AOA is a data first product, and the success of the analytics is dependent on the quality of the data, this individual will be critical to the success of the pod.

Responsibilities

You will manage our end-to-end data integration: data mapping discovery, coordination with our third-party integration provider, data validation and integration testing, and data issue resolution.
You will own the engineering role on specific projects when Coursedog engages on new product roll-outs. It involves executing technical integration activities, including designing and developing (Node JS) new SIS integration brokers, formatters and extensions.
You will maintain and expand the internal knowledge base around the AOA integrations and best practices and continually drive improvement around those elements of the business.
You will ensure client integrations are configured correctly with no downstream integration risks.
You will work closely with product on gaps and technical needs for client integrations, informing the overall product roadmap and direction. This includes driving needed bug fixes, technical enhancements and providing expert guidance on the specification for new integrations with SISs.
You will work as a part of a cross-functional team and collaborate with teams across Coursedog to drive innovation and best practices in our SIS integrations.

Skills

Intuition and senses to identify downstream implications to data configuration decisions
You have experience with using tools to process large data payloads and to identify trends in data.
You can work in an unstructured environment to prioritize accordingly.

About Coursedog

Our mission is to break down barriers to opportunity for students.
Coursedog provides higher ed with modern technology solutions – empowering institutions, students, and communities across the globe.

Coursedog's founding story is rooted in the desire to help students achieve their highest goals. In 2018, Coursedog's co-founders and then college students, Justin Wenig and Nick Diao, were frustrated by how difficult it was to get into the classes they needed to graduate on time. After speaking with higher education provosts and registrars to better understand how academic scheduling works, they came away with a vision that permeates the company today.

Coursedog has raised $113M total capital as a remote-first, hyper-growth startup currently backed by JMI Equity, and with past investments from YC and First Round Capital. We were recently ranked in Forbes top 500 US startup employers and our employee engagement scores rank in the top 5% of tech companies.
