Job Description
• Design a domain model that enables both institutions (districts, schools, ministries) and individuals (teachers, coaches) to use Playlab successfully
• Clarify how users, organizations, apps, and permissions relate to each other as Playlab scales
• Ensure the model supports Playlab's current partnerships while creating flexibility for future growth
• Specify the controls that give institutions visibility and confidence: user management, app distribution, usage reporting, and appropriate content governance
• Balance institutional needs with Playlab's commitment to educator agency—administrators need oversight without locking down what makes Playlab powerful
• Work with the partnerships team to prioritize based on what's actually blocking deployments
• Define requirements for getting roster data into and out of Playlab at scale—supporting districts and organizations with varied SIS configurations
• Specify integration patterns that work across the fragmented K-12 data landscape (Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster, custom exports)
• Design flows that reduce manual work for IT administrators and partnership teams

- Experience with SIS integrations (Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster) or identity management in education
- Background working with districts or state/ministry-level education deployments
