Our growing non-profit organization aims to leverage advanced data engineering to boost donor engagement and operational efficiency. We seek a skilled data engineer to design and implement a real-time data pipeline that integrates various data sources for streamlined analytics and reporting. This project will enhance our ability to make data-driven decisions, improving donor communication and campaign effectiveness.

📋Project Details

As a scale-up non-profit organization, we are looking to bolster our data capabilities to support our expanding donor base. With the objective to enhance donor engagement and operational efficiency, we intend to implement a robust real-time data pipeline. This project involves designing and implementing a data pipeline using technologies such as Apache Kafka for event streaming, Spark for real-time data processing, and Airflow for workflow orchestration. The pipeline will integrate multiple data sources, including CRM systems and fundraising platforms, into a unified analytics platform using dbt and Snowflake or BigQuery. Additionally, we seek to implement data observability tools to ensure data quality and reliability. This initiative is crucial for providing our marketing and donor relations teams with timely insights, enabling targeted communication and effective campaign strategies. Our goal is to significantly enhance donor experiences, increase donor retention, and ultimately support our mission more effectively.
