Our startup is developing a real-time analytics platform to optimize energy consumption across smart grids, using advanced data engineering techniques. This project involves setting up a robust data pipeline to process, analyze, and visualize energy usage data in real-time, enabling grid operators to make informed decisions to enhance efficiency and sustainability.

📋Project Details

As a startup at the forefront of clean technology innovation, we aim to revolutionize energy management within smart grids. Our project focuses on building a comprehensive real-time data analytics platform to process and monitor energy consumption patterns. We are seeking a skilled data engineer to design and implement a scalable data pipeline using technologies like Apache Kafka and Spark for event streaming, with Airflow orchestrating the workflow. The project will leverage dbt for data transformations and integrate with Snowflake or BigQuery as the data warehouse. Databricks will be utilized for machine learning operations to provide predictive analytics. The goal is to enable grid operators to visualize energy trends immediately, optimizing load distribution and reducing wastage. This solution is crucial for adapting to fluctuating renewable energy sources and ensuring a balanced energy grid. Our project not only supports sustainability goals but also aligns with the growing market need for efficient energy management solutions.
