We help colleges and universities modernize engagement, recruitment, enrollment, and student success with intelligent automation and a product customers genuinely love.\nThe Role\nAs an Integrations Architect, you own the integration workstream during implementation and support the reliability of data flows post-launch in partnership with CS and Support. You are the technical bridge between Element451 and campus IT - translating institutional system reality into mappings, validations, and repeatable integration setups.\nYou're not writing production code, but you are deeply technical: you test APIs, troubleshoot auth and sync failures, validate data integrity, and build the runbooks that prevent repeat issues.\nWhat You'll Own\nIntegration delivery (API + batch/flat-file)\nConfigure, validate, and launch integrations between Element451 and institutional systems (SIS/ERP/financial aid/3rd parties)\n\nImplement and maintain batch workflows where APIs aren't available (SFTP, CSV specs, schedules, transformations/normalization, validation)\n\nPartner with Implementation Leads to align integration timelines with go-live milestones and unblock dependencies early\n\nData mapping & governance\nLead mapping sessions with campus IT and functional stakeholders: field definitions, formats, transformations, and \"system of record\" decisions\n\nDefine data quality standards and validation checks so downstream workflows (automation, segmentation, reporting, AI agents) behave correctly\n\nDocument mappings, assumptions, and edge cases in a way that is usable for CS and Support post-launch\n\nTroubleshooting & reliability\nDiagnose integration issues using logs, error payloads, and testing tools (e.g., Postman)\n\nIdentify root cause across auth, endpoints, payload formatting, source data, or scheduling\n\nResolve issues independently where possible; escalate to Engineering only when required - with clear reproduction steps, impact, and artifacts\n\nEstablish monitoring habits and proactive checks to catch failures before customers report them (no silent failures)\n\nCross-functional enablement & scale\nBuild and maintain integration runbooks, troubleshooting playbooks, and \"known failure modes\" guides\n\nCreate reusable integration patterns for common higher-ed ecosystem combinations to reduce time-to-go-live\n\nSurface recurring issues and integration friction as structured signals to Product/Engineering (patterns, not anecdotes)\n\nWhat You'll Bring\n3-6 years in integrations, technical support, data operations, implementation engineering, or similar roles with APIs as a core responsibility\n\nStrong REST/API fundamentals: reading docs, testing endpoints, debugging, handling errors, pagination, rate limits\n\nComfortable with auth patterns (OAuth2, API keys, tokens) and common failure modes\n\nExperience with SFTP/CSV/batch integration workflows and rigorous mapping/validation practices\n\nWorking familiarity with higher-ed SIS/ERP concepts and terminology; experience with systems like Banner, Colleague, PeopleSoft, Workday Student, Jenzabar, etc. is a plus\n\nStrong written communication - clear for campus IT and precise for internal teams\n\nHow We Measure Success\nIntegration go-live success: integrations launch on schedule without blocking go-live\n\nIntegration health: fewer silent failures, stale syncs, and recurring data quality issues\n\nTime-to-resolution: faster recovery when issues occur\n\nEngineering escalation rate: high % resolved without Engineering involvement\n\nDocumentation coverage: mapping docs and runbooks are complete, current, and actually used\n\nScalability impact: reusable patterns reduce time-to-go-live over time\n\nWhat This Role Is Not\nNot a software engineering role (you won't build production features)\n\nNot a generalist implementation role (integrations are the core responsibility)\n\nNot passive ticket triage - you prevent repeats and improve reliability\n\nNot documentation-optional - if it isn't documented, it doesn't scale","description_format":"text","description_chars":4072,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CRM Software","EdTech Platforms","Education AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T23:58:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/element451-integrations-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/element451-integrations-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T09:44:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13757,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8943},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8943"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Felement451-integrations-architect"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Felement451-integrations-architect"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Felement451-integrations-architect"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/element451-integrations-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Felement451-integrations-architect"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3492018}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"element451.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3492018},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
