Software Engineer – Infrastructure / DevOps full_time

In today’s digital age, instant information is the norm. But this transparency disappears when it comes to consumer products, and their ethical and sustainable production through supply chains. Addressing the global climate challenge and safeguarding both humanity and the planet requires a transformation in food systems.

This is why we built OpenSC.

Co-founded by WWF and The Boston Consulting Group, OpenSC is on a mission to revolutionize the way we buy and produce products by providing data on transparency and traceability for supply chains.

We deliver social and environmental impact by providing supply chain transparency that empowers brands to know, influence, and prove (to third parties) the sustainability of their supply chain practices.

This is achieved through the OpenSC platform, which leverages AI, Blockchain and Remote Sensing technologies to enable automated ingestion, analysis, and sharing of a supply chain’s data.

• Drive innovative solutions that empower internal teams by providing tools, support and automations, working closely with other developers and product managers.
• Collaborate on designing, developing, and scaling the OpenSC platform, driving its global rollout across diverse supply chains.
• Lead initiatives to strengthen security across the entire development environment.
• Focus on automating infrastructure to accelerate product development and delivery.
• Promote agile and software best practices and develop effective solutions to real-world challenges in collaboration with the platform team.

Our tech stack:

• We are cloud-native company and leverage AWS cloud and its services (e.g. EKS, EC2, RDS, SQS/SNS, Lambda, S3, etc.).
• Our APIs are historically built with Spring Boot (Kotlin), but we are looking to become Python-first in our tech stack.
• Our data pipelines are orchestrated by Dagster (Python) with data stored in S3 and Postgres, and transformations written using dbt.
• We build frontend applications in Plotly Dash (Python) and web apps in React.js.
• We deploy our code using CircleCI and Github Actions and use terraform for infrastructure deployment.
• Our blockchain component is developed with Node.js and integrates third-party services such as IPFS and Ethereum.

• Passion and desire to work on sustainability topics and ethical production within supply chains.
• Ability to excel in fast-paced, dynamic environments, contributing to designing and evolving the platform in collaboration with other engineers and product managers.
• Expertise in backend software architecture and distributed systems design principles.
• Expertise in cloud technologies (e.g. AWS, GCP/Azure), including proficiency with cloud services such as storage, compute, networking, monitoring, and more.
• Experience in infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Experience in applying security best practices and frameworks, with a focus on safeguarding systems, data, and infrastructure through robust security measures.
• Excellent knowledge of software engineering best practices (e.g. test-driven development, code reviews, design documentation, etc.)
• Experience with Spring Boot/Kotlin, Node.js, React.js, and data pipelines is advantageous.
