At Level Data, we build the data infrastructure that K-12 education runs on. Our platforms have connected the disparate systems inside schools and state agencies into a single reliable picture that leaders can act on. This role is on the Talent team, which delivers teacher licensure and credentialing, district and school accreditation, statewide teacher evaluation aligned to state frameworks, and talent transparency through our statewide educator job board.

• Design, build, and own features end to end across a C#/.NET and SQL Server core, extending into React and Node (TypeScript) with Postgres on our newer products.
• Break down large or ambiguous technical problems into approachable chunks, partnering with your Product Owner to sequence the work against roadmap commitments and state compliance deadlines.
• Develop deep knowledge of the team's technical estate, including the integrations that move educator, district, and evaluation data between state systems.
• Act as a technical resource across the team, unblocking teammates and keeping delivery moving.
• Collaborate multi-functionally with Product, Customer Success, and go-to-market partners, bringing an engineering perspective to what we should build.
• Proactively find opportunities for optimization and efficiency across the systems you own.
• Contribute to estimation and planning, voicing recommendations, feedback, and solutions from a technical perspective.
