Data Integrations Engineer

Timely is your home for secondary master scheduling featuring AI optimization and support from a team of educators who know and have lived scheduling. Not only does Timely save time and headache, it unlocks resources so district and charter leaders can build a schedule that drives staffing and budget efficiencies.

We founded Timely to build the tool we wish we'd had when we were in schools -- hoping to save school leaders hundreds of hours of wasted time while allowing district leaders to enable their academic, budget and staffing priorities. Our solution addresses the needs of school-based employees who toil away building schedules and central office employees who need visibility into them.

After completing a successful pilot during the 2022-23 school year, we have scaled our impact across the country. Through a lean approach, we've achieved impressive growth - 8.0x and 3.6x ARR increases in consecutive years - with extraordinary renewal rates (95% logo retention, 96% gross revenue retention). Today, Timely is serving schools across 14 states and Washington D.C. This growth has been driven by our strong product-market fit, deep understanding of education, and commitment to customer success.

Come work with us as an early engineer building a solution that schools and districts desperately need to improve the quality of education they deliver.

As a data integrations engineer, you will operate across both engineering and customer success to ensure that customers can integrate with and leverage our scheduling technology for their needs. You’ll work closely with customer success team members to own a portfolio of clients who wish to integrate with Timely for their scheduling needs. Additionally, you will devise the architecture and patterns to generalize and scale the process of reliable integration across many clients, reducing the cost of such integrations over time. Finally, as an early engineer on this team, you’ll be responsible for establishing the culture and patterns that allow us to grow the team over time to serve even more customers.
