Integration Lead

Stellic is growing! We're looking for an Integration Lead to own the systems that connect university Student Information Systems to Stellic. This is mission-critical infrastructure where data correctness and reliability directly affect everything our product does - and we need a technical leader to drive our integration architecture into its next phase.

ABOUT US

We're building a future where every student can move through their education with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Our platform transforms the student experience, giving them the tools they need to make the right decisions about their degree plans, track their journey, and build an education and career path that's truly their own.

Stellic is a fast-growing startup backed by leading social impact investors, partnering with top institutions like Cornell, Columbia, UVA, and Ohio State to support over 1 million students across 7 countries. As we scale to serve more universities worldwide, we remain deeply committed to this mission, driven by our values, and committed to building a high-performance team that's here to make a lasting difference on both students' lives and higher education.

STELLIC ENGINEERS

Stellic engineers combine a rare blend of curiosity, creativity, and business acumen with the ability to deliver pragmatic solutions at high velocity with uncompromising quality. Our mission is to help students, and our engineers always have that in mind as they are building.

THE INTEGRATION TEAM

The Integration team is responsible for the critical bridge between university Student Information Systems (SIS) and Stellic. This integration layer is foundational to ensuring that Stellic's data remains accurate, up-to-date, and trustworthy. The team owns the systems that power this bridge end-to-end, including integration pipelines, data models, and the interfaces that expose external data across the product. This requires navigating a wide range of external systems, each with its own complexity and nuances, and translating that into standardized, coherent internal representations that the rest of the product can rely on.

The team is also responsible for evolving Stellic's integration approach, consolidating multiple legacy patterns into a new, well-defined standard that will support future scale and product development.

As a technical lead on Integration, you will play a central role in shaping how external data flows through Stellic, with direct impact on the reliability and trustworthiness of the entire platform.

ABOUT YOU

You've designed and operated high-reliability integration systems before, and you know what it takes to build for data correctness at scale - fault-tolerant, observable, and easy to debug when something goes wrong. You bring strong judgment to defining standards and patterns, and you know how to make complex, messy external systems fit cleanly into a coherent internal model.

AS OUR INTEGRATION LEAD, YOU WILL OWN

• SIS integration systems, end to end: Own the technical direction and evolution of the systems that bridge university Student Information Systems and Stellic - including integration pipelines, data models, and the interfaces that expose external data across the product.
• A new integration standard: Define and drive the adoption of a consolidated integration architecture, replacing multiple legacy patterns with a consistent, scalable approach that will support Stellic's next phase of growth.
• Data correctness and reliability: Ensure systems are fault-tolerant, observable, and easy to debug, with clear guarantees around data integrity and behavior across a wide range of heterogeneous external data sources.
• External system complexity: Design systems that reliably handle varied SIS environments while maintaining clean, well-defined internal representations the rest of the product can depend on.
• Engineering excellence: Drive engineering excellence by defining and mentoring on best practices, design patterns, and code quality across the team.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU SHOULD HAVE

• 8+ years of backend engineering experience operating at scale, with a track record of leading complex implementations as a technical lead
• Background designing and…
