Your primary customers will be Renaissance product teams who work directly with schools. You’ll develop deep understanding of the complex challenges these teams are facing and build systems that help them tackle those challenges.

• Outstanding communication skills (verbal, written, presentation). You can distill complex ideas into simple stories that help people care about the right things. 
• Excellent collaboration and listening skills. You bring others along and craft solutions with them. 
• Critical thinking and analytical abilities. You like understanding and solving hard problems. 
• Experience with data analysis, BI/analytics tools, and SQL. 

Bonus points for experience with: 

• K-12 education technology (extra credit if you’ve worked on data management, rostering, identity, or licensing) 
• Working in a school or school district 
• Working with software teams that use XP, CI/CD, or TDD 
• Experience with lean and agile methodologies. Experience with Jira is a plus.
