Job description

Transforming global food systems is key to tackling the climate crisis and protecting people and the planet. We believe a new and different type of transparency is needed to drive that change.

That is why we built OpenSC - co-founded by WWF and The Boston Consulting Group

Our platform uses data directly from the source of our customer’s supply chains and analyses it to create direct actionable insights about sustainable & ethical production.

Automated - Continuous - Granular - Immutable

This new type of transparency enables our customers to know, influence, and prove the sustainability of their supply chains.

Our Tech Stack:
We believe in using modern tools that scale. Here's what you'll work with:

• Pipeline Orchestration: Dagster
• Data Transformation: PostgreSQL & DBT
• Containerisation: Docker (pre-configured containers ready to go)
• Cloud Storage: AWS (S3 and RDS)
• Database Management: DBeaver
• Backend: Python for automation and APIs

Note: We value understanding of fundamental concepts like data modeling, ETL processes, API design, and cloud architecture over specific tool experience. If you're familiar with similar technologies, you'll pick up our stack quickly!

• Design, build and maintain robust ETL processes to handle diverse data sources from handwritten records to complex ERP systems.
• Partner with the data engineering team to dive into data analysis and create intuitive visualizations that help customers measure and verify information.Contribute to internal tools and frameworks that enhance efficiency and scalability for future implementations.
