The challenge

Our business relies entirely on data. For example, we collect electricity consumption data and use it to calculate each customer’s invoices. Another interesting application of meter data is the forecasting of energy consumption and production to ensure that we can secure the necessary supply or sell excess energy through trading on the energy exchange. This gets really interesting when we add image​​batteries and power management for large appliances: how cool it would be if your water heater only heats up when prices are low. All these cases should be embedded in our next-generation data platform.

What are you going to do

• You lead the design and implementation of a next-generation data platform for TOKI

What is the process

1. A first meeting to get to know each other and find out if we share our values
2. You solve a simple task from end to end (it should take a few hours, but how much time you invest is also up to you)
3. Technical review. We’ll look at the decision and discuss it, talk about the choices you’ve made…
4. Offer!
