About Earthworm
Earthworm is a group of people who believes we can solve the big issues affecting people and nature today. We work in global supply chains impacting millions of people and places around the world to make the products we buy. We work on the ground, in forests, fields and factories, helping companies, farmers and communities find practical solutions together. And we know that, ultimately, trust and positive changes comes from people getting to work together, hands in the soil.
Your Role
As a Sustainability Data Engineer (Solution Architect), you'll be a critical bridge between the Global Data Team, field teams, subject matter experts, and partnership managers - enabling transparent, sustainable supply chains for clients committed to traceability. You'll translate organisational needs into scalable data solutions, both internally and with external partners, while helping build reliable, high-quality data processes that support data-driven decision-making.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Gathering data needs from internal teams and translating them into clear technical requirements.
- Designing, implementing, and improving data processes end-to-end: from structure and collection to transformation, storage (ETL), analysis, and visualisation.
- Building robust, scalable data solutions for new commodities, products, and services.
- Managing and integrating existing database systems and workflows.
- Leading data projects and managing relationships with external partners, including database implementations and process reviews.
- Contributing to dashboards, data analysis, and the exploration of new tools and technologies (e.g. automation, AI) to strengthen the team's data capabilities.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your Profile
You're driven by a genuine desire to create positive impact for people and the planet, and you see technology and data as powerful levers to get there. You care about getting things right - not because someone told you to, but because you take pride in your work and feel responsible toward the people and places your data ultimately serves. Precision matters to you, and so does integrity: you'd rather flag a flaw than let it slide, and you hold yourself to the same standard you expect of others.
You ask "why" before "how." Complex systems draw you in rather than intimidate you, and you're comfortable moving between technical depth and the bigger picture. That curiosity keeps you humble - you welcome being challenged if it makes the work better, and you're not afraid to speak up or ask questions. You also bring a creative streak to problem-solving: you're drawn to elegant, well-crafted solutions over generic ones, and you enjoy putting your own thoughtful stamp on the systems you build.
