Canvas Lms Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking an experienced, forward-thinking Senior Educational Technologist to enhance, support, and optimize our digital learning ecosystem. In this role, you will serve as a key contributor to our Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) and its integrated Content Management System (CMS), collaborating closely with IT and academic teams to ensure system health and effective content delivery.

Beyond platform support, you will drive the evaluation and secure onboarding of Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) integrations, manage our educational media platforms, and champion innovative pedagogical practices across our K-12 iPad ecosystem. You will bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and classroom execution, ensuring our faculty, students, and families have a seamless, secure, and impactful digital learning experience.

1. Canvas LMS & CMS Core Contribution

• Act as a core functional contributor to the Canvas LMS environment, assisting with sub-account management, user permissions, system configurations, and routine feature updates.
• Partner with stakeholders to maintain and improve the integrated CMS framework within Canvas, ensuring structured, accessible, and intuitive course navigation and content delivery across all grade levels.
• Analyze system usage data to optimize platform adoption, troubleshoot complex technical issues, and collaborate with partner IT teams to support data rostering and SIS (Student Information System) syncing.

2. LTI Integrations & EdTech Onboarding

• Lead the evaluation, testing, and deployment of new LTI-integrated tools, third-party applications, and software extensions within Canvas.
• Establish and facilitate a rigorous vetting process for new EdTech tools, auditing them for technical compatibility, accessibility compliance (WCAG/VPAT), and student data privacy standards (FERPA, COPPA, SOPPA).
• Maintain a centralized registry of approved integrations and coordinate with vendor teams regarding software renewals and licensing compliance.

3. K-12 iPad Integration & Media Management

• Architect and support teaching and learning strategies tailored specifically to our K-12 iPad environment, ensuring apps and digital workflows are highly optimized for mobile touch devices.
• Manage and optimize educational media platforms (e.g., Canvas Studio, Panopto, or similar tools) to support asynchronous video learning.
• Partner with the IT/MDM (Mobile Device Management) team to facilitate seamless app deployment, profile configurations, and a frictionless end-user experience on student and faculty iPads.

• Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of experience working directly in educational technology, instructional design, or systems administration.
• LMS/CMS Experience: Deep functional knowledge of LMS and CMS frameworks.
• Technical Integration: Proven track record of successfully onboarding and configuring LTI 1.3/Advantage integrations.
• Apple Ecosystem: Extensive experience working with emerging technologies in the education technology ecosystem. Preferred experience using iPads as a learning tool in an educational environment.
• Data Privacy Knowledge: Strong understanding of student data privacy laws (FERPA, COPPA) and security frameworks required to safely onboard new software.
• Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills with a proven ability to translate complex technical processes into clear, actionable guidance for educators and school leadership.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Educational Technology, Instructional Design, Computer Science, or a related field plus additional educational technology work experience.

The ideal candidate will showcase:

• Critical Thinking. You get to the bottom of problems quickly and rigorously. You don't accept the first explanation, you interrogate assumptions, and you can distinguish between what's true and what's merely plausible.
• Communication. You write with clarity and economy, and you're effective in person. You know that real communication means understanding your audience's perspective well enough to actually move them - not just transmit information at them.
• Entrepreneurial Drive. You take full ownership of your outcomes. You are assertive about removing obstacles, you don't wait to be told what to do next, and you measure yourself by results rather than effort.
• Resilience. You receive feedback and use it as fuel rather than a reason to disengage. You hold yourself to a high standard, and when someone raises the bar, your instinct is to rise to it.
• Curiosity. You want to understand how things actually work - from the systems you're building to the teachers and scholars at the end of the chain. You trace your work through to its real-world impact and care about the details and edge cases you find along the way.

Why Join Our Team?

This position offers the unique opportunity to directly shape the digital landscape of our school community. You will work alongside a collaborative team of educators and IT professionals who are deeply passionate about leveraging technology to inspire curiosity, foster equity, and elevate the K-12 student experience.
