šŸŒ³ Infogrid began in 2018 on a mission to make buildings more sustainable, buildings account for 39% of global carbon emissions and weā€™re creating real solutions to impact this!Ā 

šŸš€We are still early in our journey but have already achieved a lot; Infogrid now operates across the globe with over 300 people helping to drive our mission forward.

The role

As a Data Engineering Manager at Infogrid, you will build, grow and develop one or two teams of skilled data engineers, working on batch and real time data pipelines to create, the richest and most extensive model of building health and energy usage in the world.Ā Ā 

These models underpin our entire data strategy: allowing our ML engineers to build cutting edge products for our customers; enabling us to build a strong data culture where data underpins every decision we make and helping to build a data platform which can grow to support billions of IoT sensors across the world.

A passion for agility is critical for success: a focus on outcomes and a willingness to pivot and change to meet the next challenge is vital - and your teams will look to you to provide stability, predictability and a culture of collaboration and support throughout the journey.

Our tools and technology will need to scale too - and you will play a pivotal role in evolving our technical architecture, working with peers from across our engineering organisation.Ā  While growing our data pipelines by several orders of magnitude, our challenges ahead include implementing governance, security and ensuring data is reliable and accurate.

We currently work in AWS with tools likeĀ dbt, Snowflake, Dagster, Kafka, Python, but weā€™d like you to help grow our tech stack as we go. A healthy dose of pragmatism, an openness to change and a focus on outcomes is key!
