[Remote] LMS/LXP Integration Engineer (Contract)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Freethink is seeking a contract engineer with hands-on experience in integrating content providers with enterprise Learning Management Systems and Learning Experience Platforms. The role involves developing new integrations, maintaining existing partners, and ensuring data accuracy and reliability across the platform.

Responsibilities

• Build new LMS/LXP integrations
• Implement integrations with platforms such as Cornerstone OnDemand, Docebo, Oracle Learning, and others as prioritized by the roadmap
• Work within our existing Integration framework (Ruby on Rails), following established patterns for catalog building and completion tracking
• Handle partner-specific authentication. We've worked with OAuth2, SAML2 assertion-based OAuth, and SFTP to communicate with partner API endpoints. New partners will bring their own requirements
• Translate partner API documentation into working catalog upload and xAPI completion tracking implementations
• Maintain and extend existing integrations
• Maintain existing integrations with Workday CCL, SAP SuccessFactors, Skillsoft Percipio, Seertech, and Degreed
• Degreed runs on a separate SFTP/CSV architecture — comfort with legacy patterns alongside modern API-based work is essential
• Debug completion tracking issues, catalog sync failures, and authentication edge cases across partners
• Improve retry logic, error handling, and observability in the existing framework
• Ensure data accuracy and reliability
• Ensure catalog payloads (courses, learning paths, lessons, curations) meet partner API specifications and include required metadata fields
• Maintain completion tracking accuracy via xAPI statements on course, lesson, and learning path events
• Work with caching patterns that prevent duplicate completion submissions

Skills

• Proven experience integrating with enterprise LMS or LXP platforms — any of: Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, Oracle Learning, Degreed, Percipio, or comparable systems
• Ability to communicate with customers and vendors with courtesy, clarity, and language appropriate to the readers' technical abilities
• Strong Ruby — you'll be navigating and extending an existing Rails codebase and need to move confidently without hand-holding
• Deep familiarity with OAuth2 and REST API patterns, including auth flows such as SAML 2.0 assertion exchange
• Working knowledge of xAPI (Experience API / Tin Can) for learning record statements
• Comfort with SFTP-based file exchange and CSV generation — our Degreed integration runs on a legacy batch file architecture
• Ability to read third-party API documentation and implement against it independently
• Experience with background job patterns (e.g., GoodJob) and retry/backoff strategies
• Cornerstone OnDemand or Oracle Learning API experience is a strong plus
• Familiarity with content packaging standards (SCORM, xAPI/cmi5) beyond completion tracking is a plus
• Experience in edtech or enterprise learning platforms is a plus
