The role

Bridge institutions and platform.

PCR Educator is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who can sit in a room with a school's IT team, understand their integration architecture, and come back a week later with a working proof-of-concept. This role operates at the edge of technical sales and real implementation.

You will conduct discovery with school leadership and technology staff, build targeted demonstrations of PCR's capabilities, and manage the technical side of sales cycles from initial contact through deployment handoff. AI and automation fluency is a meaningful advantage here.

  • Strategic business thinking alongside strong technical instincts
  • Comfort engaging directly with senior institutional leadership, from IT directors to heads of school
  • A view of AI as a productivity multiplier, not just a feature
