Job Description

Open Architects (OA) seeks a Lead Data Engineer to strategically enhance our ETL processes and data connectors, enabling reliable, sustainable, and scalable integration with diverse data systems.

Our ideal candidate is an experienced Python developer with a complementary DevOps skillset that allows them to make informed decisions.

OA supports school districts, municipalities, and education non-profits with custom-built visualizations and data tools that empower leaders to make informed decisions.

  • Build and maintain robust data connectors to dozens of systems, ensuring reliability, scalability, and sustainability.
  • Monitor data pipeline performance, proactively troubleshooting and resolving issues to maintain data integrity and system uptime.
  • Collaborate with district IT departments to address and resolve technical issues beyond client service capabilities.
  • Develop internal documentation, guidelines, and best practices to support growth and onboarding.
  • Influence platform and technology decisions to improve pipeline resilience and transparency.

  • Experience with data pipeline orchestration and management technologies (e.g., Docker, Airflow, Kubernetes)
  • Proven ability to establish and document technical standards and operational best practices.
  • Bachelor’s degree required

Required Personal Skills and Experience

  • Exceptional communication skills, capable of translating complex technical concepts clearly
    for internal stakeholders and clients.
  • Enthusiastic collaborator, comfortable working within a flexible and flat organizational structure.
  • Commitment to maintaining strict confidentiality and ethical standards when handling
    sensitive client data.
  • Experience effectively engaging with diverse stakeholders, especially education and
