Job Details

Who We Are

NewGlobe is working with visionary governments around the world to dramatically improve the quality of basic education. Founded in 2007, we partner with governments to provide integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement -- all grounded in learning science -- to ensure each teacher is empowered to engage children in transformational learning, Our data-driven approach has been validated by a Nobel-winning researcher and recognition by international leaders in Education. We imagine a world where all children can access an education that unlocks their full potential.

We need bright minds who want to be part of building a new globe -- a more equitable globe -- to join us. More information: newglobe.education

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.

Software Development Department

The software development department handles all aspects of delivery related to our custom software applications and services - everything that it takes to turn an idea into working software and delivering value to our users. The department is structured into cross-functional, self-organising teams that work together on projects, short and long, alongside product designers and key business stakeholders.

About the Role

NewGlobe has been data-driven from its inception, using a build-measure-learn approach to all aspects of service delivery. As a scale model business, we have an unprecedented opportunity to bring statistical power to all aspects of an educational operation, from the academics team using randomized controlled trials to validate the best teaching methods to the schools team understanding which factors contribute to teacher turnover to operational teams striving to improve our service delivery efficiency.

However, we have reached an inflection point where we need to take our data game to the next level. Instead of just providing data to our various departments, we need to start bringing to bear more sophisticated techniques to unlock the potential of our significant data sets. While we collect tens of thousands of data points every term from each of our academies – from the time spent on each page of a lesson to the billing and payment history of every pupil – we are yet to fully realize the potential energy of these data sets.

We’re looking to build our next generation Data Platform team in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, alongside our software and product teams. The role of the Data Engineer is at the forefront of that transformation, ensuring our data models and data aggregation processes are robust, scalable, and ready for whatever we dream up next.

What You Will Do

  • Assist data-product development teams in creating and testing data models for a variety of business-analytics use cases, operational applications, internal monitoring and observability scenarios to fulfill  the company goals..
  • Recommend solutions to improve new and existing data-engineering systems.
  • Take the lead in data-migration tasks from legacy systems.
  • Design and implement monitoring solutions  for system performances and observability.
  • Drive technical innovation and lead on new technology exploration.
  • Improve the scalability, stability, accuracy, and efficiency of our existing data systems.
  • Contribute to effective data governance practices, including data quality, data management, data policies, business-process management, and risk management surrounding the handling of business data.
  • Communicate effectively with business stakeholders and outside actors during feature development  and planning of new requirements for our data platform.

What You Should Have

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in data engineering or a similar role.
  • Passion for data-product development across a variety of tools and technologies.
  • Proven experience with modern data-ingestion (Fivetran, Airbyte, etc.) and data-orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, etc.) systems.
  • Deep understanding of data processing and transformation practices and tools (data frames, SQL, DBT, etc.).
  • Familiarity with Microsoft technologies, especially Microsoft SQL Server, (current operational systems).
  • Deep understanding of, and experience with, popular data-engineering systems like Hadoop, Apache Spark, Kafka, etc., and ability  to advocate for their appropriate adoption at NewGlobe (pros and cons analysis, PoC, etc.).
  • Fluency with data-warehouse design and dimensional modelling (star schemas, snowflakes, etc).
  • Understanding of NoSQL databases and unstructured data.
  • Experience with version control, continuous delivery/integration, and test driven development.
  • Experience or interest in results-driven, lean/agile environments.
  • Ability to prioritize and execute tasks in a fast paced environment.

Working at NewGlobe

Enter the dynamic world of NewGlobe, where we embrace the mindset of boundless potential. 

Here, we excel in innovative problem-solving and harness the power of data to revolutionize education.
