About the project

• In our Location 360 team we believe that the location of things, and the relationships between them in time and space, are of fundamental importance to creating transformational digital products. We are passionate about enabling teams to seamlessly incorporate spatial and location data into their applications, analyses, operations, and models. We do this by ingesting and stewarding much of the location related data for Bayer Crop Science, by integrating models that enrich that data, and by building platforms and interfaces that make it easy for teams to integrate that data into their work. Our Environmental team is looking for an experienced and innovative Data Engineer to join us.
• As a Data Engineer, you will focus on designing and developing large-scale, event driven data pipelines using modern data infrastructure. You will be the primary developer for multiple spatial data workflows involving planting and harvesting geospatial data, building robust data pipelines, services, and APIs to enable research, analysis, and product innovation across Bayer’s business functions. You’ll work closely with data engineers, cloud engineers, data stewards, software developers, data scientists and domain experts to build scalable cloud-based solutions using modern cloud-native and open-source technologies.

Your responsibilities

• Design, build, deploy and support cloud-based and open-source solutions for geospatial data handling
• Implement scalable data pipelines in Python and Go for ingestion, transformation, and delivery of structured and unstructured geospatial data.
• Build highly scalable APIs for accessing geospatial data and initiating geospatial processing and analysis.
• Develop event-driven data processing solutions using Kafka, AWS SQS, and Google Cloud Pub/Sub to orchestrate multi-stage spatial workflows.
• Integrate and manage data flows across cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP, databases such as PostgreSQL/PostGIS and BigQuery, and cloud storage such as AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage
• Leverage Kubernetes (K8s) for deploying and managing containerized applications and workflows.
• Work closely with SREs and platform engineers to integrate cloud infrastructure with CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.
• Collaborate with data engineers and SREs to optimize and monitor data pipelines and services for performance, reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Provide technical support, including incident response, troubleshooting and resolution for production issues in data pipelines and API services.
• Ensure compliance with company and industry standards and best practices for data security and regulatory requirements.
• Stay updated on emerging data engineering technologies and data infrastructures; evaluate their potential impact and application in our systems and processes.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior data engineers. Forster a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous learning.
