What you'll do
As our first Data Engineer hire you'll be a key part in defining the data engineering culture at Nira. This includes setting up best practices, infrastructure and tools to ensure our pipelines are testable and robust. Our best practices and tooling should also enable our data engineering team to build at maximum velocity.
As a Data Engineer, you will also build new data pipelines in markets Nira is expanding to. Market expansion is the most important work at Nira right now. There are customers that only build solar/wind in these new markets and are ready to pay us as soon as we launch them. We need these new pipelines and Data Engineers to launch these new markets.
You will be the sole technical owner of building a new pipeline in a new market. You'll be paired with a Transmission Engineer on our team who understands how to run electrical analyses on the grid.
