Senior Data Engineer

Are you a data engineer who thrives on building robust, automated, and scalable infrastructure from the ground up?

At Mily Tech, we are revolutionizing last-mile logistics through spatial analytics. You’ll play a key role in architecting and optimizing our cloud-native data infrastructure, leveraging AWS, Terraform, and modern data pipelines to power our core platform. However, the real thrill lies in tackling complex, high-volume data challenges from designing low-latency ingestion pipelines to efficiently processing spatial datasets with Uber's H3 spatial indexing system. 

We're not afraid to get into the gory details of systems to squeeze out maximum performance and cost efficiency, using C++ where it counts and leveraging parallelism with technologies like OpenMP.

We're tackling open challenges in geocoding and real-time spatial analytics, such as dynamically redistributing load on couriers and package lockers. If you are not shy of pushing the boundaries of performance and scalable data infrastructure while shaping the future of last-mile delivery, we want you!

• Design, implement, and optimize cloud-native infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code for ease of replication and efficient resource utilization.
• Design and maintain scalable data pipelines using AWS-native services, ensuring efficient data ingestion, transformation, and storage.
• Optimize build systems and deployment workflows, ensuring automated infrastructure provisioning, testing, and CI/CD for data pipelines.
• Develop observability solutions using AWS CloudWatch, InfluxDB, and Grafana to monitor infrastructure, data processing, and cost efficiency in real time.

• Additionally, it would be advantageous to have experience in a fast-scaling B2B SaaS environment.
  

Mily Technologies is a Munich-based startup developing vertical SaaS solutions to help parcel and postal operators solve last-mile delivery challenges. 

We are creating a new category of software called delivery analytics - a powerful mix of business and spatial analytics tailored for the last mile. The platform’s strong analytics and native AI capabilities enable insights that no other product can match while eliminating the difficulty of obtaining answers from disparate BI, GIS, and last-mile tools.

Several major parcel and postal players have placed their trust in the Mily Tech to build, manage, and scale their delivery networks.

Our vision is to become the world’s leading source of insight for tackling the challenges of last-mile deliveries and first-mile returns at the center of logistics, e-commerce, and consumers.
