Location and how we work
This role is based in Steinbach, or remote anywhere in Canada. mode40 is remote-first, with an office in Steinbach for the people who want one. Everyone here has access to everyone from day one: if you need the CEO, you talk to the CEO rather than waiting for a meeting invite.
What you will do
- Build and own the pipelines that pull from PLCs, historians, MES, ERP and whatever else a plant is running
- Model that mess into the single record the rest of the platform depends on
- Work directly with customers' engineers on site, not through a ticket queue
- Decide what good looks like for data quality on an engagement, then hold the line on it
What we are looking for
- Five or more years building production data systems, not just analyses
- Deep SQL, and comfort with Python for the parts SQL cannot reach
- You have dealt with a source system that lies to you and know how you found out
- Real curiosity about how a plant runs. Industrial data experience on top of that is a bonus
