**We believe in the power and joy of learning**
At Cengage, our employees have a direct impact in helping learners around the world discover the power and joy of learning. We are bonded by our shared purpose - driving innovation that helps millions of learners improve their lives and achieve their dreams through education.
**About This Role**
Cengage is at an inflection point. As we scale our AI-powered learning ecosystem including Student Assistant, AI faculty insights, and Cengage Unlimited the gap between a polished platform demonstration and a deeply embedded, outcomes-driving deployment at an institution is where the real work lives. The Lead Field Development Engineer closes that gap.
As a Lead FDE, you will embed directly with Cengage's most strategic institutional partners to architect, configure, and ship production-grade AI and platform solutions tailored to their academic, compliance, and pedagogicalenvironments. This is not a sales engineering role: you will write and own production code, influence Cengage's core platform roadmap with field-derived insights, mentor other engineers, and establish the standard for complex institutional AI deployments.
**What You'll Own**
STRATEGIC INSTITUTIONAL DEPLOYMENT
+ Embed with 3-5 strategic institutional accounts at a time, working directly with partners to understand instructional workflows, legacy LMS architectures, and institutional data environments before proposing a solution
+ Lead end-to-end delivery of MindTap AI, WebAssign, Cengage Unlimited, and custom GenAI integrations from discovery through production launch and ongoing iteration
+ Design and build institution-specific configurations including adaptive learning paths, RAG-backed course assistants, and auto-graded problem banks that address pedagogical challenges at scale
+ Drive LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage integrations between Cengage platforms and institutional LMS environments such as Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, and Moodle, including SSO, grade passback, and data flows
TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING
+ Write production-quality code in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and SQL to build integration middleware, data pipelines, and custom tooling that extend Cengage's core platforms
+ Architect and deploy agentic AI workflows using LLM APIs and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines grounded in institutional course content
+ Build and maintain automated evaluation frameworks that measure the accuracy, safety, and pedagogical quality of AI-generated student guidance at the institution level
+ Ensure deployments meet FERPA, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, institutional data-governance requirements, and Cengage's AI safety standards
+ Translate field-derived deployment patterns, integration heuristics, and failure modes into first-class contributions to Cengage's product and engineering roadmap
LEADERSHIP & ENABLEMENT
+ Serve as the technical authority for field deployment practices, establishing standards, reusable integration templates, and a shared knowledge base of institutional patterns
+ Mentor junior and mid-level FDEs and conduct technical reviews of deployment architectures, code, andstakeholder communication
+ Partner closely with Cengage product managers, platform engineers, content teams, Sales, and Customer Success to prioritize roadmap features and define technical success criteria
+ Present deployment architecture, outcomes data, and AI safety posture to institutional CIOs, ChiefAcademic Officers, and VP-level stakeholders with authority and clarity
+ Define adoption milestones and renewal-driving outcomes for strategic accounts, ensuring technical delivery translates into measurable institutional value
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD IN YOUR FIRST 12 MONTHS
+ A reference deployment architecture for Cengage AI and LTI 1.3 integration that can serve as the team standard across institutions
+ Custom RAG-powered course-assistant deployments embedded inside MindTap for strategic universitypartners, with measurable engagement and learning-outcome targets
+ An automated AI evaluation harness for Cengage Student Assistant covering accuracy, academic-integrity safety, and response quality across FDE-managed accounts
+ A faculty analytics integration layer connecting Student Assistant interaction data to institutional LMS gradebooks and early-alert systems
+ A library of reusable integration modules for Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, and Moodle that reduces institutional onboarding time from weeks to days
**What You Bring**
TECHNICAL
+ 7+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems in complex, customer-facing environments
+ 3+ years in a customer-embedded or field-facing engineering role such as FDE, Solutions Engineer, Applied AI Engineer, or Implementation Architect, with ownership of full deployments rather than demonstrations along
+ Strong full-stack engineering skills, including Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, REST or GraphQL API design, and modern application frameworks
+ Hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-based applications in production, including RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, tool-calling agents, and evaluation frameworks
+ Demonstrated experience with LMS integration standards such as LTI 1.3, LTI Advantage, AGS, NRPS, and Deep Linking
+ Proficiency with cloud platforms; AWS is preferred, with experience across services such as Lambda, ECS or EKS, RDS or Aurora, S3, API Gateway, and CloudWatch
+ Working knowledge of learning analytics standards such as xAPI or Caliper and educational data-privacy frameworks including FERPA, COPPA, and applicable state requirements
LEADERSHIP & COMMUNICATION
+ Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous institutional requirements into a concrete technical plan, own the plan end to end, and remain accountable for outcomes
+ Experience presenting technical architecture and AI product strategy to C-suite and senior academic leadership, with credibility in both engineering and executive settings
+ Track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar of a team, not only executing individual work
+ Comfort with up to 30% travel to institutional partner sites throughout the academic year
**Preferred Qualifications**
+ Experience in higher education technology, edtech, or academic publishing, including an understanding of how universities procure, adopt, and measure learning technology
+ Familiarity with adaptive learning platforms, learning engineering, and learning-science research
