Customer Success Engineer

The starting base salary for offers will depend on the candidate’s location, qualifications, skills, and experience. Depending on the position, equity and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package. 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. The Problem We Need You to Solve Edia serves 300+ school districts—including New York City, Fulton County, and San Francisco—with AI-powered solutions to address chronic absenteeism, math achievement, and complex data integrations and intervention workflows. Our newest product, our District Intelligence Platform (DIP) unifies K-12 data from SIS, LMS, attendance, and behavior systems into a single system of action for student success. Every new district means a complex, high-stakes integration. We connect to all major SIS (e.g. PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Synergy, etc.), configure Clever and ClassLink rostering, stand up SFTP data feeds, import benchmark and end-of-course exam scores, and align to district-specific data models across dozens of customers. A missed go-live date means a semester of lost student outcomes. We need a technical owner who can execute that end-to-end integration process: someone who can drive every integration workstream from contract signature to successful launch and pull in our engineering team where needed. The Role You’ll be Edia's dedicated Customer Success Engineer (CSE)—a foundational hire on the Customer Solutions & Implementations team, reporting to our VP of Customer Success. You’ll function as the technical lead for integrations across CS, Engineering, and district IT stakeholders, balancing technical execution with strong project management and change-management instincts. This is not a standard onboarding role. You’re implementing a multi-product platform with multiple integration points, in districts with complex IT environments, competing priorities, and tight timelines. You bring an engineering mindset to every integration challenge — comfortable diving into API specs, data mapping, and system architecture — while maintaining the project rigor and customer judgment to deliver on school-year timelines. What You’ll Do Technical Integration Leadership Execute SIS integrations across PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Synergy, and other legacy platforms—defining data mapping specs, transformation logic, and validation requirements. Own SFTP pipeline setup, Clever/ClassLink rostering configuration, SSO provisioning, and platform-level data ingestion workflows. Write and review data transformation scripts, API integration specs, and configuration documentation. Hands-on coding ability is a strong plus; deep fluency in data models, REST APIs, and ETL patterns is required. Serve as the primary technical interface between Edia’s engineering team and district IT—translating complex technical environments into clear implementation architectures. Identify integration risks early: schema mismatches, API rate limits, authentication edge cases, and data quality issues—and drive engineering solutions before they block go-lives. End-to-End Implementation Ownership Lead full-lifecycle implementation projects from contract signature through go-live: project plans, technical milestones, dependency mapping, risk registers, and stakeholder coordination. Receive structured handoffs from Sales (SOW, technical requirements, champion intro) and manage clean transitions to CSM at go-live with full configuration documentation and adoption metrics. Own the internal status cadence across Product, Engineering, Support, and CS—removing blockers and driving accountability across all workstreams. Customer & Change Management Navigate district procurement timelines, IT governance processes, and organizational dynamics to keep implementations on track. Guide district stakeholders—from IT directors to curriculum leads—through technical onboarding and rollout best practices. Proactively surface adoption risks and drive mitigation plans before they become blockers. Scale the Function We’re scaling from a handful of concurrent implementations to 3–4x that volume in 2026. You’ll design the playbooks, tooling, templates, and success metrics to make that possible. Define when deeper technical engagement (e.g., Forward Deployed Engineer support) is required. Help define the long-term shape of the implementation team as we grow. Qualifications Required Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field. 4+ years in technical implementation, solution engineering, integration engineering, or a closely related technical delivery role with a SaaS or data-intensive environment. Hands-on experience with data integrations: REST APIs, SFTP pipelines, ETL workflows, data mapping, and schema design. Ability to read and write code (Python, SQL, or similar) is a strong plus. Deep fluency in integration patterns and system architectures—comfortable reviewing API specs, debugging data pipeline issues, and writing technical configuration documentation. Proven track record delivering complex, multi-stakeholder technical projects on deadline in enterprise or public-sector environments. Exceptional communication across technical and non-technical audiences—from IT architects to district superintendents. Strong project management discipline: risk management, dependency tracking, milestone accountability. Why Join Edia? Foundational technical role with direct influence on platform architecture, integration standards, and team structure. High-visibility position working closely with Engineering, Product, and GTM leadership. Competitive compensation ($100,000–$150,000), equity, flexible vacation, and technology stipend. Hybrid-friendly with flexibility on remote work. Additional Job Details The expected salary and bonus range for this position is $100,000 - $150,000 annually. Compensation may vary outside of this range depending on a number of factors, including a candidate's qualifications, skills, competencies and experience. Additional benefits include equity, flexible vacation, especially during school holiday periods, and technology stipend.
