Job Description:
As a 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.

Own ambiguous challenges, particularly in new partnership integrations and emerging AI use cases, and drive them to resolution.
Apply strong diagnostics to identify root causes and deliver resilient, maintainable solutions.
Mentorship & Growth
Mentor engineers through coaching and feedback, including adoption of modern and AI-assisted development practices.
Support team growth by promoting continuous learning, experimentation, and adaptability.

Ensure new partnerships are delivered with care, reliability, and ingenuity, balancing speed with long-term sustainability.

Strong experience building and operating scalable distributed systems and APIs
Prior experience building, scaling, or supporting a marketplace platform (B2B SaaS, developer marketplace, app marketplace, integration marketplace, or partner ecosystem) with responsibility for partner onboarding, integration delivery, and ecosystem growth.
