Service Description:

DevOps Engineer – GDQM Platform

GDQM was developed as a project within the Data expert team and is currently used by four German distribution system operators (DSOs) for a limited scope of application, mainly for EAM and HARnes.

Transformation of Global Data Quality Monitoring (GDQM) from a project-based solution to a scalable enterprise service.

As part of the project, the necessary governance structures, organizational setup, operating processes, onboarding requirements, the support model, and the commercial framework will be defined. The goal is to connect further German distribution system operators (DSOs) and business units to GDQM and to integrate the solution into the Governance & Data Products Platform portfolio.

The solution is based on Databricks, SQL, Power BI, GitLab, and CI/CD pipelines. Currently, there is neither a formal operating model nor a dedicated product team, a commercial model, or a governance framework for topics such as onboarding, support, approvals, rule management, or further development of the platform.

Architecture documentation, operating processes, and service management procedures are only partially available or completely missing. Corporate roles such as Data Steward and Data Quality Manager are established at E.ON, but have not yet been integrated into the GDQM processes.

Project Goal

Stable technical operation as well as the deployment and operating processes of the GDQM platform. Measurements should be executed reliably, and new rules and functions should be rolled out in a controlled manner.

Main Tasks

• Monitoring of measurements and platform infrastructure
• Technical analysis and resolution of faulty measurements (Second/Third Level)
• Problem management: Root cause analysis and sustainable error correction

• Setup, maintenance, and further development of CI/CD pipelines
• Technical rollout and lifecycle management of rules (e.g., staging, release, rollback)
• Platform Control

• Technical consulting for connecting new data sources (access, connectivity, permissions)
