About the Role

We're seeking a Modern Product person in the agentic world, a Solutions Architect to own the technical heart of our customer relationships — from discovery through delivery using agentic software practices. You'll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and sales, and you'll be the person who turns a qualified opportunity into a deployed, working solution that solves a real district or school problem.

This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role with a strong bias toward action. You won't just diagram a solution — you'll build it on top of our infrastructure, own it end to end, and close the deal. You'll report directly to the Head of Product and partner closely with Sales, Engineering, and DevOps.

If you're energized by being in the room with principals and superintendents one day and writing code against our platform the next, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Run technical discovery. After Sales qualifies an opportunity, lead discovery with the customer to deeply understand their pain points and translate them into concrete user stories and requirements.

Map pain to solution. Determine how our existing solutions — with light, well-scoped customization — can solve the customer's problem. Know our architecture cold: what's flexible and easy to customize, and what's hard or off-limits.

Build and own solutions. Write code on top of our infrastructure to deliver the solution. Own it end to end, from design through deployment and handoff.

Close the deal. Partner with Sales to drive opportunities to close. Your technical credibility and clear articulation of value are what get the deal across the line.

Communicate timelines clearly — to customers and internally. Set expectations honestly and keep all sides aligned.

Feed the roadmap. When an opportunity requires net-new infrastructure or capabilities, work with the Head of Product, Head of Engineering Management, and DevOps to scope it and determine how (and whether) it fits the roadmap.

Work directly with school leaders — principals, superintendents, and administrators — building trust and translating between their world and ours.
