Work full of energy

Team Fundamentum Our team consists of 7 ambitious professionals. We build and manage the central self-service platform for data analytics at EDSN. The platform runs on AWS and uses Snowflake for storage and analytics, and Tableau for dashboards and reports. Data entry is done via Kafka MSK, HVR, or File Gateway/S3. We use Terraform for Infrastructure as Code and user management, and integrate with central IAM applications. We also create dashboards for platform usage (e.g., vulnerabilities and costs).

Our next steps are:

• Setting up orchestration with Airflow
• Data transformation with dbt
• CI/CD and deployment pipelines
• Setting up a data store and data catalog

We still have some technology choices to make, but prefer open source or AWS-native solutions.

The data platform is used by both internal DataOps teams, as well as grid users. 

This is what you will do

As a senior cloud data engineer, you not only bring the technical knowledge and experience to build a rock-solid and modern data platform, but you also have the ability to explain complex issues simply and bring people along with your vision.
