Forward Deployed Engineer

ABOUT EDIA Edia is the leading AI technology company in K-12 education, helping 1M+ students across the U.S. have an exceptional experience in school. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to make Edia work inside the complex technical and operational environments of large school districts. You’ll work directly with district IT teams, curriculum leaders, and operational staff to understand their systems and workflows, integrate their data, and customize Edia’s products to meet their needs. This role sits between Customer Success Engineering and product engineering. You won’t simply collect requirements and hand them to another team. You’ll inspect unfamiliar systems, design solutions, implement integrations and product extensions, debug failures, and operate what you ship. You’ll also recognize when a district-specific request reveals a reusable capability that belongs in the core platform. WHAT YOU’LL DO Embed with districts - Work directly with district IT, data, curriculum, and operations teams to understand their systems, constraints, and existing workflows. - Turn loosely defined customer needs into concrete technical designs, implementation plans, and production software. - Own the technical relationship from initial discovery through integration, customization, launch, and stabilization. Build integrations and custom solutions - Build and operate integrations with PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Synergy, Clever, ClassLink, and other district systems. - Implement REST API integrations, SFTP pipelines, SSO and rostering flows, data transformations, validation systems, and backfills. - Extend Edia’s products with district-specific workflows, internal tools, reports, interfaces, and automations. - Ship full-stack functionality when a successful deployment requires changes across backend services, data models, and user interfaces. - Safely migrate and reconcile sensitive, inconsistent, and incomplete district data. Own production outcomes - Debug
