Technology Group

Technology plays a critical role enabling us to provide transformative education at massive scale in highly resource constrained environments. This is one of the key elements that gives us the ability to deliver radically impactful programmes, creating brighter futures for a generation of children across the world each day. Technology spans several key functions, including product management, business intelligence, software development and IT operations. 

Working with us, passionate technologists have a chance to directly change the world. No kidding.

About the Role

We are looking for a full time Data Quality Engineer to join our new Amsterdam data team, which will build the new data platform that powers and improves our portfolio of educational tools. In this role, you will provide expertise in the analysis, monitoring and improvement of data quality to ensure data complies with established business rules. The key to the DQ role on our team is being a divergent thinker with a curious mind - a collaborator with developers in building great data and tools, not an adversary, nor an order taker.

If you’re looking to be a gatekeeper, NewGlobe will not be right for you. If you’re looking to get a perfect set of requirements handed to you, NewGlobe will not be right for you. On the other hand, if you’re all about being an enabler of teams, curiosity and innovation, and more than anything, about automation and repeatability, then NewGlobe might just be your next gig.

You will report to our data engineering team lead.

What You Will Do 

• Collaborate with team members and business stakeholders to define acceptance criteria for data product development, including participation in the design and estimation of new data products to ensure that testing and quality are not an afterthought.
• Create and execute testing and quality-check plans that include an appropriate combination of manual and automated testing and quality pipelines, carefully reporting issues using structured tools and standards.
• Establish and oversee the end-to-end data quality journey covering all four data quality phases (design, implement, monitor, improve) within specific domains.
• Advocate for a culture of automation and repeatability - and then get your hands dirty to make it a reality.
• Create data quality reports, translate data requirements into data quality rules and perform root-cause analysis of data quality issues.
• Follow testing best practices to ensure the functional correctness, usability, interoperability, and security of NewGlobe data products.
• Work closely with data owners, data users and IT stakeholders to ensure handshakes and gather their data quality requirements and specifications for new data quality controls and dashboards, translating them into data quality rules.
• Deliver and manage automated testing tools for the constantly evolving needs of the data platform.
• Integrate automated testing tools into build quality pipelines to promote a culture of continuous delivery.
• Participate in the design, rollout, and use of monitoring tools in order to identify and resolve issues and ensure continuous integration of data into warehouses.

What You Should Have

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related degree, with strong academic performance.
• At least 4 years of hands-on experience in BI testing (ETL, reporting).
• Knowledge of SQL, Python, and other database scripting techniques.
• Passion for the power of Business Intelligence to impact core business operations.
• A quick mind, a willingness to learn, and a deep-seated curiosity.
• Interested in learning, along with the team as our data grows exponentially, about Big Data solutions (a few examples of technologies we will be using: ClickHouse, Airbyte, DBT).
• Functional understanding of data warehouse design and dimension modeling (star schemas, snowflakes, etc).
• Working knowledge of ETL processes.
• Familiarity with version control; exposure to continuous delivery and automated testing a plus.
• Experience or interest in results-driven, lean/agile environments.
• Ability to prioritize and execute tasks in a fast paced and demanding environment.
• Good communication skills.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to make a difference for children every day at a proven, internationally recognized, mission-driven company.
• Flexible hybrid working arrangement.
• Take the lead and help us grow our data engineering team.
• The opportunity to work on challenging and innovative projects.
