ABOUT OPENED

At OpenEd, we’re opening the world to every learner. With over 100,000 students served and growing rapidly, families trust us as a partner to the most precious thing in their lives, their children. Our vision: a future where education is no longer constrained by geography, rigid models, or outdated systems. Our mission: to give every student customized, world-class education and resources, empowering families and opening millions of doors for learners across the country.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking a Director of Data Engineering to build the next phase of our data infrastructure that powers OpenEd’s growth. This is a greenfield opportunity to architect and implement our data warehouse solution from the ground up, creating the backbone that supports operational excellence and data-driven decision making across our rapidly scaling platform.
As our Director of Data Engineering, you’ll be the technical owner of our data architecture, building 99% of the solution while partnering closely with Operations to ensure seamless handoff and adoption. You’ll solve critical challenges like designing our fundamental data architecture, building out a complete business intelligence framework, establishing clear data request workflows, and creating the infrastructure that transforms how we serve our students and their families.

THIS ROLE WILL EXCITE YOU IF:

• You thrive on building data infrastructure from scratch rather than maintaining existing systems
• You enjoy the challenge of creating order from chaos; establishing processes where none currently exist
• You’re energized by directly impacting student outcomes through reliable, accessible data systems
• You want ownership over technical architecture decisions and the autonomy to implement the vision
• You’re passionate about Open Education and believe data infrastructure can transform educational experiences
