Remote Educational Game Developer Jobs in Oregon

Description

For the Dev position I'd say the top three technical skills are fluency with SQL and Python, familiarity with team project work via git/source control, familiarity working with Snowflake/web based integration tools (Airflow/Workato/Mulesoft).

Day to day tasks will likely be tasked with a given legacy integration, deconstruct the requirements (since there's no documentation), then rebuild it using Workato following new design principals (pub/sub, API). We have a couple legacy web apps that if we can get to, would be helping to rebuild them within AWS.

Position Details

A candidate for this position will focus on refactoring legacy workflows—transitioning traditional flat-file transfers and batch ETLs into modern, API-driven, pub/sub, and orchestrated integration solutions.

Basic Function

Under limited direction, design, develop, and support complex system integrations, pipelines, web applications, and cloud-based data systems within the district’s enterprise environment. Serve as a technical expert in web application development lifecycle and ETL orchestration. Collaborate with other team members to ensure adherence to data governance standards, and produce reliable and supportable infrastructure aligned with District priorities.
