• Experience with event-driven architecture, event-time processing, and dealing with real-world data issues like late-arriving data, data-gaps, device failures, noise, calibration, drift, corrupted streams, etc.
• Building fault-tolerant, stateful data processing pipelines that manage large state efficiently
• Solid knowledge of time-series databases like Timescale dB and experience in using them for storing high-ingest rate sensor data optimizing both ingestion and query performance.
• Experience in integrating processing systems with Apache Kafka, time-series databases, MQTT or similar message brokers and storage systems
• Working knowledge of containerized development and Kubernetes or similar orchestration tools
• Ability to build data pipeline observability including metrics, logging, and error alerting.
• Good language skills in English (spoken and written); Finnish language skills are considered an advantage

Knowledge which we appreciate in the future but not mandatory

• Competence in building end-to-end stream processing pipelines that are integrated with backend services with attention to access controls and data security
• Experience in building APIs and business logic for job control endpoints, result APIs, and pipeline configuration interfaces, including implementation of rolebsaed access rights (RBAC) and secure data workflows.
• Understanding ML/AI use cases for time-series or sensor data and applying ML/AI on time series data, such as data discovery, anomaly detection, forecasting, and predictive models
• Familiarity in building quality monitoring into data processing pipelines, e.g. outof-bound values, stuck-values, calibration drift, etc.)
• Familiarity in implementing and managing CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment
• Cybersecurity knowledge and best practices

Other technical skills which are an advantage but not mandatory

• Experience in working with industrial process data or working with IoT systems

As a person, you are proactive, technically skilled and take initiative. You also have strong problem-solving skills to solve problems and work in a diverse team and see solutions rather than problems.
