Job Description

Job Overview:  

As a Scala Developer in our team, you work with large scale manufacturing data coming from our globally distributed plants. You will focus on building efficient, scalable & data-driven applications that – among other use cases – connect IoT devices, pre-process, standardize or enrich data, feed ML models or generate alerts for shopfloor operators.

The data sets produced by these applications – whether data streams or data at rest – need to be highly available, reliable, consistent and quality-assured so that they can serve as input to wide range of other use cases and downstream applications.

We run these applications on a Kubernetes based, edge data platform in our plants. The platform is currently in ramp-up phase, so apart from building applications, you will also contribute to scaling the platform including topics such as automation and observability.

Finally, you are expected to interact with customers and other technical teams e.g. for requirements clarification & definition of data models.
