Hypercube Consulting is the leading technology partner for the energy sector. We’re building a world‑class team of data experts with deep domain knowledge in all things energy.

To get a better understanding of how we think and some of the ways we work, check out our founder’s blog here:

As a data engineer, you will truly understand a client’s requirements to build, test and deploy data solutions that help customers deliver more value from their data. You’ll get stuck into the end‑to‑end data workflow – everything from realtime event streaming to big data analytics using modern tools across a range of technology stacks – with the opportunity to develop production‑grade solutions using the most current technology.

Requirements Gathering – Understand and translate end‑user requirements into designs and delivery plans for effective data solutions.

Data Platforms & Pipelines – Develop, test, deploy, and maintain highly automated data platforms, pipelines and applications using modern cloud technologies.

Data Quality – Analyse and resolve data quality issues.
