Cloud Data Engineer

Description

Job Summary: We are seeking a specialist in cloud data architectures to design and develop data strategies, leverage data, and build AI models for leading enterprises. Key Highlights: 1. Working with cutting-edge Cloud technologies and real-world technical challenges. 2. Close collaboration with AI and IoT teams to deliver Cloud solutions. 3. Participation in research projects and innovative prototyping. We are looking for a candidate to join our Cloud Data Spaces team, focused on developing cloud-based data architectures. You will help design and develop cloud data strategies for industry-leading companies across sectors such as industrial, energy, transportation, and food, tackling state-of-the-art technological challenges — aiming to generate knowledge through data exploitation or AI model development. You will assist in defining the data strategy: how to ingest data into the cloud, how to process it (batch or streaming), how to store it, and how to build ETLs for periodic pre\-processing of data. **What we offer:** * Opportunity to work with cutting-edge Cloud technologies addressing real enterprise technical challenges. * Availability to conduct Cloud-related research aligned with IKERLAN’s research agenda. * Close collaboration with specialized AI and IoT teams to operationalize AI models and deliver Cloud IoT solutions. * Collaboration and participation in multidisciplinary research groups. * A dynamic, youthful work environment with many social activities. **Your responsibilities will include:** * Participating in the design and development of Cloud solutions (AWS, Azure, GCP, or Databricks), including large-scale data ingestion, processing, and storage phases. * Collaborating with IoT, AI, energy, and other domain teams to develop multidisciplinary Cloud solutions. * Contributing to the creation of Data Lakes oriented toward data exploitation. * Participating in the design and development of data pipelines for subsequent exploitation. * Participating in research projects. * Supporting the team’s technology watch activities. * Driving innovation and integrating emerging technologies into projects. * Developing innovative prototypes to demonstrate the team’s capabilities, integrating acquired technologies and expertise. * Managing client projects, identifying their needs, and proposing concrete solutions to their problems. **Our Ikerlan Culture:** * The world was not given to us to observe, but to transform. * Technology is our attitude. * A living, cooperative project — by all and for all. * A work philosophy committed to excellence, closeness, and autonomy. We would love for you to apply for this position—even if you feel you don’t meet all the requirements. What matters most to us is finding authentic, responsible individuals who resonate with our mission and values—not just candidates who check every box. **To thrive in this team, you’ll need:** * Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering. * Master’s degree in Computer Science, Big Data, or related fields. * A PhD in related topics will be considered a strong asset. * Programming experience in Python and/or Node.js. * Familiarity with Big Data technologies such as Spark, Flink, Kafka, Ni\-Fi, etc. * Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, etc. * Knowledge of Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or Databricks. * Cloud platform certifications will be considered a strong asset. * Proficiency in spoken and written English.
