Platform Engineer – Database & Streaming (m/f/d)
As a transmission system operator, we secure the power supply for around eleven million people in Baden-Württemberg. We create the infrastructure for the energy transition by maintaining, optimizing and expanding the high-voltage network according to needs. With our network, we not only make the country an innovative power turntable in the heart of Europe, but also make the energy system of the future significant. System operation is responsible for the safe, environmentally friendly and efficient operation of the transmission network and the control zone of TransnetBW. In addition to the control of the 380- and 220-kilovolt transport network, this includes the provision of efficient IT and infrastructure systems, the trade in energy and balancing markets, HSE tasks and the development of future-oriented platform solutions for controlling the power grid. We are in the build mode: The data platform stack is created, decisions are still made – and right here you can influence hands-on. We are looking for people who want to build up modern, secure and manageable data platform services, to take responsibility during operation and to develop professionally with the team. We think pragmatically: what we ourselves build, integrate or cover with established solutions, we consciously decide for benefits, operational capacity and KRITIS accuracy. .
