Job description

Why us?

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 and languages. Here's some of what you'll work with:

Programming languages: Python
Exploratory Data Analysis: Jupyter Notebooks, visualisation libraries (e.g. plotly)
Data Management: SQL, S3, RDS
Cloud: AWS
Containerization: Docker (pre-configured containers ready to go)
Data Pipeline Orchestration: Dagster, Airflow

Note: We value understanding of fundamental concepts like data modelling, 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!

Your mission

We are hiring for a Solution Engineer to join our team and help bridge the gap between technical implementation and business outcomes. In this role you will collaborate with customers, transforming their sustainability goals into actionable solutions through cutting-edge technology. You will work closely on the following topics:

Support the business interpretation of data and assist your team with data analysis and visualisation tasks.
Implement scalable data pipelines that ingest, transform, and extract insights from raw supply chain data.
Support technical engagement during implementations through collaboration with cross-functional teams, including Project Managers and Strategic Designers.
Participate in requirements gathering with customers, and architect solutions that align with their sustainability objectives.
Support implementation of robust ETL processes to handle diverse data sources.
Contribute to developing internal tools and frameworks that enhance efficiency and scalability, working in partnership with our product and tech teams in Europe.
