Requirements
• Skills needed: Experience with edtech product deployment at the district level. • Years of experience: Not explicitly stated; however, a minimum understanding implied through reference to "living through the pain" suggests some prior relevant work is expected (potentially more than 5 years). • Education/certifications not specified in job posting requirements. • Must-haves: Deep understanding of how edtech products land in schools and districts; experience with designing domain models, specifying administrative controls, defining integration patterns for roster data flow at scale within the K-12 education context.
Responsibilities
• Domain Model Design • Design a domain model that enables both institutions (districts, schools, ministries) and individuals (teachers, coaches) to use Playlab successfully • Clarify how users, organizations, apps, and permissions relate to each other as Playlab scales • Ensure the model supports Playlab's current partnerships while creating flexibility for future growth • Administrative Controls • Specify the controls that give institutions visibility and confidence: user management, app distribution, usage reporting, and appropriate content governance • Balance institutional needs with Playlab's commitment to educator agency—administrators need oversight without locking down what makes Playlab powerful • Work with the partnerships team to prioritize based on what's actually blocking deployments • Rostering & Data Integration • Define requirements for getting roster data into and out of Playlab at scale—supporting districts and organizations with varied SIS configurations • Specify integration patterns that work across the fragmented K-12 data landscape (Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster, custom exports) • Design flows that reduce manual work for IT administrators and partnership teams • You Might Be a Fit If You... • Have shipped rostering, SSO, or admin features for a product used in K-12 schools or districts • Understand how edtech procurement, IT administration, and classroom deployment work • Can translate institutional requirements into clear product specs without over-engineering • Write requirements that engineers can build from—you're specific, not hand-waavy • Are comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where you'll need to make decisions with imperfect information • Care about education and want to help a mission-driven product scale responsibly
