Abl believes every student deserves the opportunity to make informed and meaningful choices about their life and future. Unfortunately, many students aren’t given the same opportunities due to systemic inequities. Abl offers advanced, data-driven software and services to help K12 schools and districts identify and remove those inequities. Abl’s Data Science team is at the forefront of this challenge, driving scalable data-driven student impact and partnering with other teams to experiment with differentiated product development that has a positive impact on student outcomes. Abl is currently doing this work with some of the largest districts in the country, such as Los Angeles Unified, New York Dept of Ed, Portland Public Schools, Denver Public Schools, and the state of Washington. The Abl team is made up of veteran school leaders, district-level decision-makers, and teachers working together with veteran software engineers, designers, and data scientists.
We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer who is excited to build critical infrastructure to make data useful, building out a platform that will empower data scientists to directly impact and iterate on our customer-facing products. As Abl’s first data platform engineer, you will collaborate with data scientists and engineers to design, scope, and build a suite of tools to scalably leverage high impact data in customer facing applications and internal analysis.
Abl employees share a passion for revolutionizing education through school design, whether or not they have prior experience working in the field. We value diversity of background and thought. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where trust, communication, creativity, and humility are valued as highly as technical skills. We believe shared ownership builds a more resilient company, and we tackle hard problems, together. We are a fully remote team, and expect to resume regular team- and company-wide gatherings in the future. If that sounds like your dream work environment, we look forward to hearing from you.
Studies have shown that women, people of color, and folks from other groups underrepresented in technology are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they check all the boxes in a job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. If you think you’re a good fit, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every one of our qualifications.
