Real-time Data Pipeline Implementation for Optimized Warehouse Operations

In the fast-paced world of warehousing and distribution, timely and accurate data is crucial for ensuring efficient operations and customer satisfaction. Our scale-up company, with multiple warehouses across the region, faces challenges with inventory management and resource allocation due to outdated batch processing systems. We are seeking a Data Engineer to design and implement a real-time data pipeline using cutting-edge technologies such as Apache Kafka for event streaming, and Spark for processing large-scale data in real-time. The project will also involve the use of tools like Airflow for orchestrating complex workflows, Snowflake or BigQuery for data warehousing, and dbt for data transformation and modeling. By adopting a data mesh architecture, we aim to decentralize our data processes, enabling each warehouse to act as a node that contributes to a holistic view of our operations. This solution will significantly reduce the time lag in data availability, allowing for more accurate demand forecasting and resource optimization. The implementation of this pipeline is expected to lead to improved operational efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced customer service, positioning us ahead of our competitors.
