Data Integrations Engineer

We founded Timely to build the tool we wish we'd had when we were in schools -- hoping to save hundreds of hours of wasted time while helping schools develop better schedules that 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.

The school schedule reflects values and priorities. With 75 to 90% of a district budget dedicated to personnel, there are few questions more paramount than how your staff and students spend their time every day, what positions you need, how many teachers you will hire, and how students will interact with them. Strategic resource allocation across schools, proper access to core courses and electives, and dedicated support to sub-groups begins with the development of a school schedule.

Timely is your home for secondary scheduling featuring AI optimization and support from a team of former 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 aligns with their vision.

Come work with us as a seasonal data integrations engineer, helping us manage the data pipeline between Timely and our clients.

You’ll work closely with both the engineering and customer success teams to own a portfolio of clients who wish to integrate with Timely for their scheduling needs.

• Full-time or close to full-time availability during the primary scheduling season (January to July, exact start and end dates negotiable)

• Ability & excitement to step into an early (seed-stage) startup role, with urgency of execution, breadth of responsibilities and opportunities for growth that come with it.
