  "externalDescription": " Do you want to build a career that is truly worthwhile? The World Bank Group is a unique global partnership of five institutions driven by a bold vision to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet. As one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries, we help solve the world’s greatest development challenges. When you join the World Bank Group, you become part of a dynamic, diverse organization with 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide. We work with public and private sector partners, invest in groundbreaking projects, and use data, research, and technology to bring tangible and transformative changes around the globe. For more information, visit www.worldbank.org. VPU Context: The Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC) is the World Bank’s central reservoir of fresh insights into the most pressing challenges of development. It is led by the Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank Group, who advises the President and senior managers, serves as the community leader for the WBG’s economists, and helps to keep the institution in the forefront of thinking about development policy. DEC constitutes one of the world’s largest teams of economists focused on policy solutions for developing economies. Unit Context: The mission of the Office of the World Bank Chief Statistician and Director of the Development Data Group (DECDG) is to put data to work for development. DECDG provides technical expertise and support both internally and to countries with a range of data and statistics priorities, including development indicators, methods, standards, and tools for data work; support for data governance; and promotion of better use and management of development data. DECDG prizes innovation and partnership, validating and incorporating new technologies, working closely with partners, and serving as an interface to the global development data community. Expanding and modernizing development data production, management and governance in support of the World Bank Knowledge Compact, ensuring World Bank is a “data bank” is critical to our mission. To address this, the Data Management Services team is leading Data360, the Bank’s central development data production and dissemination framework to improve accessibility, management and dissemination of the WBG’s own data assets; and production of high quality statistical indicators and data products to help improve development outcomes. To advance this work, DECDG seeks an experienced Data Engineer and Architect to lead the design and implementation of the Data360 data production and dissemination system.
