Remote position available anywhere in the U.S. with working hours primarily between 8am-6pm Eastern Time. Estimated travel of 10-20% to support institutional go-lives.
The salary range is $133,000 - $145,000.
This range is based on DataKind's Senior Manager, Technical, level salary band. Actual salary within this range will be based on the candidate's experience and internal salary equity scan of active employee(s) with similar role and experience. Candidates who meet the role's requirements are typically positioned in the lower to middle of the range, with higher placement reserved for candidates who bring significantly above-required experience or expertise.
Reporting to the Director, Product, the Technical Solutions Engineer owns the full technical arc of onboarding and implementing our platform for new higher education institutions, from the first discovery call through go-live. You'll run discovery to understand each institution's data landscape, design how their systems connect to ours, and personally write and ship the code and configuration that makes that connection work. You’ll be the first technical point of contact for our customers whenever they need help, helping to ensure the platform works for each institution's specific data environment. Over time you'll also turn what you learn from each engagement into reference architectures and playbooks, so every new institution onboards faster than the last.
