Job Description

Technical Solutions Engineer

DataKind

• 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.

Job 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.

Benefits

  • Flexibility and time off.
  • Comprehensive Wellness Support.
  • A Culture of Growth.
  • Meaningful Connection.
  • Living our Values.
