Spanish-Speaking Forward Deployed Engineer

Why us?

Remote, CET ±2 hours | Building Tech for Sustainable Impact

Why We Exist

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.

How We Work

You sit within the engineering team, working alongside other Forward Deployed Engineers and liaising closely with the product team. Our approach combines independent ownership with shared learning and pragmatic teamwork.

Small, agile team. Priorities shift as we learn, so ownership matters. You'll decide how to tackle problems, not just pick up the next ticket.

Open, informal communication. We live on Slack, love a quick huddle and are always on the hunt for new custom emojis. Because we're remote-first, we'd rather you over-communicate than leave people guessing.

Pairing and review. We pair program regularly and review each other's code.

AI-native, end to end. We use AI across the whole process, from brainstorming, design and planning to writing and debugging code, and we share what works. We adopt new tools when they help, and everyone contributes to finding better ways to work.

Challenge us. Tell us where we're going wrong and what we could do better. We want to hear it.

Our Tech Stack

Day to day, you'll work with: Dagster for pipeline orchestration; PostgreSQL and dbt for data transformation; Python for automation, APIs and tooling; AWS (S3 and RDS) for cloud storage; Docker for development environments; Claude Code for AI-assisted development; and a fleet of background agents that handle recurring work like data standardisation and ticket triage, which you'll use, extend and build new ones.

Used similar tools rather than these exact ones? We still want to hear from you.

Your mission

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.

Your profile

What We're Looking For

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.

We're Committed to Diversity

We actively encourage people from all backgrounds and experiences to apply, including career changers and self-taught engineers. If you care about using technology to drive sustainable change, we want to hear from you.
