About the job
At Sensorfact, our mission is to reduce the human environmental footprint by eliminating all waste in the industry. We help our customers gain real-time insights into their operations through high-resolution, machine-level sensors that monitor electricity, gas, water, compressed air, production speed, and machine health.
As a Senior Data Scientist, you will play a key role in transforming raw sensor data into valuable insights. You will design heuristics and algorithms that enrich this data in real time, empowering customers to better understand and optimize their processes. On top of that, you will develop models that generate actionable and personalized advice. You’ll be involved in every step of the development process: from data quality checks for new sensor types to deploying and maintaining prediction pipelines. With data at the core of our platform, you will be a vital member of a cross-disciplinary team driving meaningful impact.
The key technologies you will be working with
Our current AWS stack is focused on ingesting and processing raw sensor data in real time using Kafka and Flink. Processed sensor data is stored in Clickhouse, other types of data live in Postgres. Batch processing is done using Prefect and Fargate, on-demand services are deployed using Lambda. We have a powerful internal GraphQL API to expose data to end users, managed by Hasura. As a data scientist you will use Poetry for package management and Gitlab CI/CD to test, build and deploy our code. You can spin up a fresh Fargate cluster at any time and parallelize your workload using Dask.
How we do it
We do Scrum with 2-week sprints, sprint planning and retrospective sessions. We have daily stand ups over Google Meet. The course is determined by quarterly goals, set collaboratively by business, data, development and product teams.
We know how important it is to get in the zone and write beautiful code so we try to keep meeting pressure low. We work from home about 70% of the time, but we enjoy meeting each other in the office regularly.
Why you will love working here:
You can play a key role in creating a smart and sustainable industry;
We have an open culture where you get a lot of freedom and where taking ownership is valued;
We like to have you around, but you also get the opportunity to work remote (abroad) for up to 2 months per year;
A powerful company laptop (Macbook Pro or Lenovo Thinkpad);
Legendary lunches, drinks and other activities with colleagues (our office manager Elise exceeds our expectations every time);
…And we obviously offer you the usual: a contract for 32-40 hours per week, employer contribution to your pension, 27 holidays, €500 contribution to set up/improve your home office and a NS business card to get to our great offices in Utrecht and Amsterdam.
