Role
Who you are
- Python experience (specifically with Pandas and/ or Django, you should know at least one of these decently well, this is a HARD requirement for this role)

- Experience writing production-quality code that is well-documented and understandable
Desirable
- Experience working with US K-12 Education data
- Knowledge of data interoperability standards such as OneRoster, Ed-Fi, and others
- Experience with modern software development and project management tools such as Git and JIRA
- Experience working at an early-stage startup

- Iterate and innovate upon our existing processes and code base to handle data at scale

Our take
SchooLinks provides a framework to help students figure out what careers might suit them - and how to get there - through a multitude of features from personality tests to financial aid calculators.
Founded in 2014, the company has grown its market position with an increasing number of customers, and continued to develop and improve both its features and integrations. For example, a partnership with Common App has enabled students using SchoolLinks to directly apply to over 900 higher education institutions with ease.
SchooLink's most notable competitor is Naviance, another company supplying college and career readiness tools, which has also seen significant progress in the market. That said, SchooLink's strong history of growth coupled with having substantial funding at its back should allow it to solidify its own place and capture further success moving forward.
