We're seeking an experienced data engineer to build a robust, real-time data platform that enhances our waste management and recycling operations. This project aims to leverage cutting-edge data technologies to track, analyze, and optimize waste flows and resource recovery in real-time, improving efficiency and sustainability in our circular economy operations.

📋Project Details

Our company, an SME in the circular economy sector, focuses on sustainable waste management solutions. We aim to develop a sophisticated real-time data platform to monitor and optimize our waste processing and material recovery efforts. The platform will leverage technologies such as Apache Kafka for event streaming, Spark for real-time analytics, and Airflow for workflow management. We aim to integrate with dbt for data transformation and use Snowflake or BigQuery for data warehousing. The goal is to create a system that allows us to visualize waste flow patterns, predict potential bottlenecks, and optimize resource recovery in real-time. By doing so, we intend to enhance our operational efficiency and sustainability efforts significantly. The candidate should be well-versed in data mesh architecture and have experience in implementing data observability to ensure data quality and reliability. The project will last 12-16 weeks and requires collaboration with our existing IT team to ensure seamless integration with current systems.

Requirements

  • Experience with real-time data platforms
  • Proficiency in data transformation and warehousing
  • Knowledge of data mesh architecture
  • Ability to implement MLOps practices
  • Strong skills in data observability and quality assurance

📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Waste management companies and recycling facilities looking to optimize operations and increase sustainability.

⚠️Problem Statement

Current waste management processes lack real-time data integration, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for material recovery and sustainability improvements.

💰Payment Readiness

Companies are increasingly facing regulatory pressure to improve sustainability metrics and are willing to invest in technologies that provide a competitive advantage and ensure compliance.

🚨Consequences

Failure to address this lack of real-time data could result in continued inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and potential non-compliance with emerging sustainability regulations.

🔍Market Alternatives

Existing solutions offer limited real-time capabilities and often require significant manual data entry, resulting in errors and delays.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our solution provides a fully integrated, real-time data platform specifically tailored to the circular economy, offering unparalleled insights into waste flows and recovery processes.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

We plan to target waste management firms through industry conferences, partnerships with environmental agencies, and digital marketing campaigns emphasizing the environmental and economic benefits of our platform.
