About Opply

Currently, 25 million consumer goods brands worldwide with $4 Trillion of revenue do not have knowledge or power to create effective supply chains. Opply is revolutionising the way these brands find, communicate with, and order from suppliers by building the world's first personalised end-to-end supply platform for them. We focus on the most innovative brands and suppliers, aiming to become the leading platform and data authority in consumer goods innovation.

Opply is backed by some of the best-known venture capitalists in the world and is one of the fastest-growing startups in the UK - and is now looking for individuals who are eager to embark on this exciting journey with us!
 

Who We Are

We’re a close-knit team of 20, working across four time zones (but we do have an office in London), and we meet up 2-3 times a year to work, ideate and hang out (previously we had company offsites in Valencia, Prague, Split and the North of Finland!).

We’re one of the fastest growing startups in London. Now we need extraordinary minds with a strong ownership mindset who want to join us on our mission!

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be joining Opply at an exciting stage of growth, where your work will directly contribute to our ambitious journey forward.

As a member of our skilled tech team, which spans expertise in Web Applications, Quality Assurance, DevOps and Data Science, you'll collaborate within multidisciplinary squads to tackle impactful projects. You will act as the main person responsible for data across the whole business and together with our CTO, our Head of Engineering, our Product Delivery Manager and our Junior Data Scientist you will be responsible for defining and executing a Data Roadmap.

As we are a small team, the role is ideal for someone who wants to own E2E. Together, we will be shaping the future of our products and building solutions that drive real business outcomes. The role can be on-site with our team in London, hybrid or fully remote (+/-2h GMT).

Your duties and responsibilities will include:

• Data Engineering: Design, build, and maintain scalable and efficient data pipelines to support ingestion, transformation, and storage of our ingredient, buyer, and supplier data. Ensure data quality, reliability, and accessibility.
• Data Infrastructure: Manage and optimise our data infrastructure, including databases, data warehouses, and cloud-based platforms.
• Cross-collaboration: Partner with product managers, software engineers, and business stakeholders to understand data needs and deliver solutions that drive business impact.
• Data Insights: Help generate insights from datasets that guide the commercial team in their decision-making. Take a holistic approach to data analysis, combining insights from tools such as HubSpot, platform data, and google sheets, and effectively communicate those insights.

What Experience You Have

• 5+ years of experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar data role: You have worked in a fast-paced startup environment, demonstrating pragmatism and adaptability. Extensive exposure to commercial and product stakeholders and experience driving data initiatives are essential.
• Strong experience with Database Management: We use PostgreSQL, but experience with any relational database is fine. Proficiency in data modelling, schema design, and query optimisation is crucial.
• Familiarity with cloud environments: 3+ years of experience with AWS. Experience managing and optimising infrastructure costs is preferred.
• ETL/ELT Tools: Familiarity with Apache Airflow, AWS Step Functions or similar tools for building and managing ETL/ELT workflows.
• Strong command of Python: Solid experience in using Python for data manipulation and analysis.
• End-to-End Data Projects: Demonstrated ability to lead data projects, from requirements gathering to production deployment. You have experience maintaining and organising unstructured data, particularly real-life customer data. Ideally you have worked with the Hubspot API.
• Interest in Data Analysis: Passion for data analysis and a track record of communicating data insights effectively to stakeholders.
• Familiar with Web Development: Although not critical it is a plus if you have done some basic web development in the past. It is helpful to understand how all the data flows in our existing systems and also to be able to take pragmatic approaches when building experiences for us to collect, analyse and visualise data.
