We are seeking a skilled data engineer to optimize our real-time data pipeline for measuring volunteer impact. Our scale-up volunteer organization aims to enhance data-driven decision-making by leveraging cutting-edge data engineering technologies. This project will involve implementing a robust data infrastructure using Apache Kafka, Spark, and Airflow to streamline data ingestion and processing, enabling real-time analytics and reporting.

📋Project Details

Our volunteer organization is dedicated to maximizing social impact by effectively coordinating and evaluating volunteer efforts. As we scale, our current data infrastructure is unable to support the rapid growth in data volume and complexity. We aim to establish a state-of-the-art data pipeline that supports real-time analytics and reporting. The project will involve designing and implementing a data mesh architecture using Apache Kafka for event streaming, Spark for big data processing, and Airflow for orchestrating data workflows. Additionally, dbt will be used for data transformation, and Snowflake or BigQuery will serve as our cloud data warehouse, with Databricks enhancing data operations through MLOps capabilities. The optimized infrastructure will enable us to provide real-time insights into volunteer activities, impact measurement, and resource allocation, enhancing our strategic decision-making processes.

Requirements

  • Experience with real-time data processing
  • Proficiency in data pipeline development
  • Familiarity with cloud data warehouses
  • Knowledge of event streaming technologies
  • Ability to implement MLOps practices

📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Our target audience includes non-profit boards, volunteer coordinators, and impact assessment teams who rely on accurate and timely data to maximize volunteer contribution and measure social outcomes.

⚠️Problem Statement

Our current data systems lack the capability to process and analyze data in real-time, hindering our ability to make informed decisions quickly. This affects our ability to optimize volunteer deployment and accurately measure the impact of our initiatives.

💰Payment Readiness

Volunteer organizations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate efficiency and impact to donors and stakeholders, creating a strong market demand for robust, real-time data solutions that can showcase results instantaneously.

🚨Consequences

Failure to address this issue will result in lost opportunities to leverage volunteer capabilities effectively, leading to reduced social impact, stakeholder dissatisfaction, and potential decreases in funding.

🔍Market Alternatives

Currently, similar organizations rely on static reporting tools and manual data processing methods, which are time-consuming and prone to delays, placing them at a competitive disadvantage in impact reporting.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our real-time data pipeline will provide unparalleled insights into volunteer activities and outcomes, creating a competitive edge by enabling real-time impact assessments and agile strategy adjustments.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

We will engage with stakeholders through targeted outreach, workshops, and demonstrations to showcase the advantages of real-time data analytics in enhancing volunteer program efficiencies and outcomes.
