Senior Data Engineer

A leading European smart metering manufacturer serving approximately 800 customers through its proprietary IoT platform. The company is undergoing a major digital transformation, migrating from on-premises monolithic infrastructure to a modern cloud-native, multi-tenant architecture on AWS.

The cloud transformation program focuses on migrating existing infrastructure to AWS, transitioning from a monolithic single-tenant setup to a scalable, cloud-native platform. The current phase involves building a data lakehouse on AWS - migrating and re-architecting data interpretation and processing pipelines, working with Scala-based services and Terraform-managed infrastructure.
