The role

Work directly with customers to define data requirements, connect and validate sources, configure the solution and help users put it to work.

You do not need to be a full-stack developer. Some scripting is useful, but understanding industrial data and solving customer problems matters more. No single vendor or tool is mandatory; broad industrial experience counts. We’re particularly interested in people with experience in oil and gas, energy, pipelines, petrochemicals, manufacturing or utilities.
