About the Company


Orbit (findmyorbit.com) is an AI-powered college admissions platform helping thousands of students find, plan, and apply to the right schools. We're launching our B2B side: delivering high-intent, student-consented leads directly into university CRMs, starting with Technolutions Slate.


About the Role


Build our university lead-delivery pipeline and ship the first live integration with our launch university partner's Slate CRM. Clearly scoped, clearly done: when nightly lead files are flowing reliably into the partner's Slate instance and the system is documented for reuse, the project is complete.


Responsibilities


  • Lead-export pipeline: consent-gated export queries, per-school field/value mapping (config-driven, not hardcoded), CSV generation and validation
  • Reliable SFTP delivery to the Technolutions SFTP server: scheduled runs, idempotency, retries, atomic uploads, host-key pinning
  • Delivery archive and audit trail (every file we send, retrievable later)
  • Monitoring: failure alerts, zero-lead anomaly detection, weekly delivery summary for the partner school
  • A one-page file spec for the university and a short internal runbook so future school onboardings are configuration, not code
  • Support during the partner's testing window (one or two mapping/validation calls with their Slate admin)


Qualifications


  • Proven experience shipping production data pipelines or B2B file/API integrations (ETL, SFTP exchange, partner data feeds)
  • Strong SQL and one backend language (Python or TypeScript/Node preferred)
  • Care for "boring reliability": encoding edge cases, silent failures, safe reruns
  • Experience handling PII responsibly; comfort with consent-gated data flows
  • Clear written docs — the file spec will be read by non-engineers at a university
  • Bonus: prior work with Technolutions Slate or other higher-ed systems (Ellucian, Element451, TargetX)


Engagement


Fixed-scope contract; timeline to be agreed based on your availability. We can start with a fixed contract for 1-1.5 weeks. There is potential to a longer term engagement if we can deliver the integration successfully.


Equal Opportunity Statement


We are committed to diversity and inclusivity in our hiring practices.
