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.

  • 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

    for internal stakeholders and clients.

  • Commitment to maintaining strict confidentiality and ethical standards when handling

  • Experience effectively engaging with diverse stakeholders, especially education and
