Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Implementation Engineer - **Company:** K12 Inc - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Salary:** $90,000.0 - $110,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Software as a Service, Data Validation, Data Integrity, Pearson PowerSchool, Salesforce.Com, Systems Integration, Microsoft InTune, Casper Suite - **Published:** June 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=064d860b23ca1310 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Data validation techniques?, * 3+ years in either: (a) a K-12 district IT role - systems administrator, identity/SSO administrator, SIS administrator, network administrator, IT manager, or IT director - with hands-on accountability for vendor integrations and platform deployments; or (b) client-facing K-12 SaaS implementation, system integration, or solutions delivery, with hands-on technical work - not project coordination. * Hands-on depth in at least one of: SSO/rostering (Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster); K-12 SIS/ERP (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward); K-12 MDM (Jamf, Filewave, Mosyle, Intune); or ticketing and asset management * 1+ year working in K-12 technology systems, including hands-on data integrity and quality checking * Comfortable holding a peer-level technical conversation with a district IT director * Technically curious - you learn new platforms by getting in and clicking around * Active Salesforce user and AI tool adopter ## Description You'll own implementations. Not coordinate them - own them. From the kickoff call through validated go-live and clean handoff to Account Management. You'll know which districts are on track, which are quietly stalling, and which are heading toward a missed go-live - before anyone asks. When the integration breaks, you're already in the logs. When a district IT director throws a technical question you didn't expect, you don't punt to engineering - you work the problem. What you'll own * End-to-end implementation lifecycle - kickoff, configuration, integration, training, go-live, and validated handoff * Hands-on technical work across SSO, SIS/ERP, MDM, and ticketing - partnering directly with district IT departments * Diagnostic troubleshooting across the platform, integration layer, and client environment - independent, not engineering-dependent * Training delivery across stakeholder types, from end users to executive sponsors A clean, documented handoff that sets up Account Management for renewal and expansion from day one Who Thrives Here We'll be direct with you, because we think you'll appreciate it. The strongest candidates for this role come from one of two places. Some have spent their careers inside K-12 district IT departments - configuring the systems, holding the line on integrations, and learning what good (and bad) vendor implementations actually look like. Others have spent their careers on the vendor side, delivering technical implementations into K-12 districts and getting calibrated to vendor pace and accountability. Both backgrounds work here. What we can't train into a candidate is the peer credibility you bring on day one with a district IT director - and that credibility is built either way. K12 Insight is a small, entrepreneurial team. We don't have a perfect playbook for everything. Priorities shift. Conversations can be intense. Communication isn't always tidy. We know that - and we're actively working on it. What we do have is a product that genuinely helps schools, clients who trust us, and a team that cares about doing the work well. The people who do their best work here own their outcomes completely - no waiting, no excuses, no "that's not my job." They stay calm when priorities shift, surface problems before being asked, and hold themselves to a higher standard than anyone else would set for them. They're technically curious - they get hands on a new platform and figure it out without waiting for training. They're direct without being harsh, coachable without being passive, and motivated by the work landing well more than by recognition. They go the extra mile for a district not because it's in their job description, but because letting someone down isn't something they're comfortable with. If you've spent your career waiting for clear direction before you move - this probably isn't your role. If you've spent it figuring things out and moving anyway - keep reading. ## Related Videos - [Exploring 5 Key Applications of AI Abundance with Blockchain Assurance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/971-exploring-5-key-applications-of-ai-abundance-with-blockchain-assurance) - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) - [Startup Presentation: StorX - Future of Cloud Storage](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1176-startup-presentation-storx-future-of-cloud-storage) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [The Intent Engineer: Closing the Gap Between Business & Engineering - Manuel Klein](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1855-the-intent-engineer-closing-the-gap-between-business-engineering-manuel-klein) - [GenAI Security: Navigating the Unseen Iceberg](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1744-genai-security-navigating-the-unseen-iceberg) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
