Role
Who you are
- MSc (or PhD) in Computer Science, Distributed Systems, A.I., or a comparable field
- Proven experience (5+ years) in data engineering, with at least 2+ years in a leadership or management role
- Strong technical background, including Python and modern cloud and data technologies (e.g., Kafka, Flink, Spark, DBT, AWS Lambda, Airflow, Prefect, etc.)
- Expertise in managing relational/OLAP databases like Postgres, Redshift, or Clickhouse
- Proven experience in working with state of the art batch and/or stream processing frameworks
- Solid understanding of software engineering best practices and data infrastructure design
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Fluent in English experience in a scale-up environment is a plus
What the job involves
- As Engineering Manager for our Data Engineering team, your contribution to this mission will be profound. Data is at the core of what we do. Our data engineers work tirelessly to ingest and store data from many types of IoT sensors, process it in real time and expose it to other teams and enable rapid discovery of valuable insights for our customers
- You will empower a growing team of 5+ talented Data Engineers and shape the future of our company with data. The team works across different value streams (e.g. Energy or Maintenance), which are multidisciplinary product teams that deliver end-to-end value to our customers
- You will be the glue that holds the team together, building a community of practice and standardizing ways of working where appropriate. We believe in leading by example, so we will also ask you to contribute hands-on in one of the smaller teams - albeit on non-urgent and plannable tasks
- Sensorfact is a booming scale-up: growth is a constant. The way we are organized is a snapshot of today’s needs, so your job description might have to evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow. One thing is for certain, you will learn a lot, and have a blast whilst doing so… If this excites you, apply today!
- Inspire, mentor, and manage a team of Data Engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration, ownership, transparency and above all psychological safety
- Drive hiring and onboarding processes to grow the team with top talent
- Provide technical guidance and career development opportunities to your team members
- Contribute hands-on ~1/3 of your time to one of the smaller value streams (reducing as your team grows)
- Partner with the Principal Data Engineer to oversee the design, implementation, and optimization of our data pipelines and infrastructure
- Work closely with Product Managers of the different value streams to facilitate timely delivery of new features and identify staffing needs
- Collaborate with fellow Engineering Managers and the VP of Technology to advance strategic projects that cross domains, such as cloud cost management, ingestion architecture and self-service analytics
- Establish best practices in data engineering and software development, emphasizing scalability, code quality, testing, and continuous integration
- Our AWS stack is focused on ingesting raw sensor data into Kafka, stream processing it using Flink and exposing it through Clickhouse. Batch processing is done using Prefect and ECS, on-demand services are deployed using Lambda. We have a powerful internal GraphQL API to expose data to end users, managed by Hasura in combination with Typescript
- We do Scrum with 2-week sprints, sprint planning and retrospective sessions. Our stand-ups are at 9:30 and if you're not there you can chime in over Meet. We are very flexible about working from home, but we enjoy meeting each other in the office regularly
- You will be in the Data team, which along with IoT and Platform make up the technology departments. The course is determined by quarterly goals, set collaboratively with the teams themselves. We don't believe in silos, so you will work in a multidisciplinary team with colleagues from multiple departments, represented by a product manager
Our take
With a vision to reducing the waste generated by industrial processes, Sensorfact supplies monitoring systems to manage energy, gas, and water usage, as well as predictive maintenance for preventing machine failure.
Utilised by manufacturers worldwide, including the likes of Dunlop and Mitsubishi, Sensorfact's products empower its clients to take control of classically wasteful processes, and make changes where they will have the most impact.
The company has seen significant investment to support further product development and expansion into the DACH-region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), including opening an office in Berlin. Serving 40 countries worldwide, Sensorfact has already contributed hundreds of GWh of savings, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of more than 30,000 households, and, with such a huge market before them, will be an intriguing one to watch.
