Are you ready to be the owner of data systems that power critical business decisions? Do you thrive when you can turn raw data into reliable pipelines, scalable infrastructure, and insights that drive real impact? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you.
Within ABB E-mobility, we are building a new venture focused on an end-to-end managed offering that brings together hardware, software, and operational excellence into a unified service model. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-scaling, high-impact business within ABB E-mobility, where you as (Senior) Data Engineer will play a key role in shaping the data platform for our next growth chapter.
What you will do:
We are looking for a (Senior) Data Engineer to be our first internal hire in this new venture.
Our data platform has been built on Azure Databricks and is live in production. You will own it end-to-end.
Note : This is not a role for the faint of heart. You’ll be joining a fast-moving team where priorities shift quickly, challenges come without warning, and solutions rarely exist yet. It will demand grit, speed, and relentless ownership.

Integrate and process streaming data from Azure Event Hubs into our data Lakehouse
Own data modelling and medallion architecture decisions (Bronze/Silver/Gold), including evolving them as the business grows
Develop a genuine understanding of the business domain: charging network operations, industry protocols (OCPP, OCPI), billing logic, and how the data is used by our Operations team
Orchestrate and monitor multi-step jobs end-to-end using Databricks Workflows
Manage and evolve cloud infrastructure using Terraform on Azure (Event Hubs, ADLS, Key Vault, Unity Catalog, networking) in combination with Databricks Asset Bundles for workspace assets
Enforce data quality through DLT expectations and SQL alert definitions; own freshness and observability standards for the platform
Maintain CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps
Contribute to our customer-facing Charging Portal, which currently embeds Databricks dashboards and serves as the foundation for future API endpoints and customer self-service features
What you will bring:
You thrive in ambiguity and like to own outcomes. You…
