[Hiring] Spanish-Speaking Forward Deployed Engineer @OpenSC

Role Description

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you bridge the gap between real-world supply-chain operations and scalable technology. You work at the intersection of data engineering, product and customer collaboration, taking solutions from problem discovery through delivery and iteration.

This is a senior individual-contributor role with significant autonomy and technical ownership, not a people-management position.

• Keeping real supply chains running (~50%):
  • You own and evolve the pipelines that connect supply-chain data to OpenSC.
  • You work with varied and imperfect source material, including ERP exports, spreadsheets, and handwritten records, and turn it into data customers can rely on.
  • You investigate data-quality issues at their source, collaborate with suppliers to resolve them, and adapt integrations as supply chains change constantly.
  • Over time, you also design and onboard new integrations as programmes expand.
• Making things better for everyone (~40%):
  • You identify recurring challenges and turn them into scalable improvements.
  • This includes customer-facing data-quality tools, reusable onboarding components, and automations that reduce manual work.
  • You work with the people who use these solutions to prioritise, build, and refine them.
• Working with customers (~10%):
  • You are the technical person customers and their suppliers talk to.
  • You translate operational requirements into practical technical solutions.
  • You work closely with customers and suppliers to investigate issues, explain technical findings clearly, and strengthen how data is captured and shared.

Qualifications

• Puedes mantener una conversación técnica tanto en español como en inglés. Es un requisito indispensable.
• Entrepreneurial energy. You'll have a lot of autonomy here, priorities can shift, and you'll need to be comfortable with uncertainty.
• You use AI throughout your daily work and keep pushing to learn industry best practices.
• You've built data pipelines, or something pipeline-shaped, in Python and SQL, and had to deal with what happens when they break.
• You've run things in production on a cloud platform (AWS or similar) and understand what keeps them reliable: how services fit together, what to monitor, and what it costs.
• You've built something that significantly changed how others work, such as a tool, framework, or automation a team came to rely on.
• You get curious, not annoyed, when data doesn't make sense.
• You'd rather understand a problem properly than jump to the first fix.
• You're happy to say "I don't know yet, let me find out."
• If you read this and thought "I could do most of this, and I'd like to learn the rest", we'd like to hear from you.

Benefits

• Remote work with flexible hours (CET ±2 hours).
• Opportunity to work on technology that drives sustainable change.
• Collaborative and supportive team environment.
• Autonomy in problem-solving and project ownership.

Company 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 customers' supply chains and analyses it to create direct, actionable insights about sustainable and 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.
