Job Description:

As a Senior Software Engineer - API & Partner Integration at Datasite, you lead projects, drive technical decisions, and build scalable platform systems with an AI-first mindset. You balance business context, customer impact, and long-term platform health while enabling intelligent, API-driven experiences and partner integrations (e.g., MCP, marketplace, and discovery services).

You bring hands-on experience or strong exposure to AI-assisted or AI-enabled development (LLM APIs, automation workflows, intelligent orchestration), paired with the ability to learn quickly, adapt in ambiguity, and move with urgency. You will help ensure new partnerships are delivered with both operational rigor and creative problem solving.

This is a US-remote opportunity. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time. If not located in MN, occasional travel will be required.
