Data Integrations Engineer

Rockstar is recruiting for an innovative, fastgrowing edtech company that is transforming secondary master scheduling for schools through AI optimization and a team of experienced educators. This client is dedicated to saving school leaders time and resources, enabling them to build schedules that drive staffing and budget efficiencies.

Who they are

This client is a leader in secondary master scheduling, featuring AI optimization and support from a team of educators who have firsthand experience with scheduling. Their solution not only saves time and reduces headaches, but also unlocks resources so district and charter leaders can build schedules that drive staffing and budget efficiencies.

The company was founded to build the tool its founders wished they had when working in schools—aiming to save school leaders hundreds of hours while enabling district leaders to prioritize academics, budgets, and staffing. Their solution addresses the needs of both schoolbased employees who build schedules and central office employees who require visibility into them.

After completing a successful pilot during the 202223 school year, the company has scaled its impact across the country. Through a lean approach, it has achieved impressive growth—8.0x and 3.6x ARR increases in consecutive years—with extraordinary renewal rates (95% logo retention, 96% gross revenue retention). Today, the company serves schools across 14 states and Washington D.C., driven by strong productmarket fit, deep understanding of education, and a commitment to customer success.
