Job Title

Graduation: Building a latency impact framework for the data layer

Job Description

Assignment type: Graduation

Start date: February 2027

Assignment duration: 6 months

Location: Veghel

Education level: Bachelor / Master

Desired study: Data engineering, data science, software engineering, computer science, business IT & management

Language: Dutch / English

Description of assignment: At Vanderlande, we are building a new data backbone that enables applications across our global organization to exchange information reliably and seamlessly. While high message reliability is essential, satisfying strict latency demands is equally critical. As we continuously add new features and capabilities to this Data Layer, understanding their impact on data processing speed becomes vital. Currently, we lack clear insights into how software updates affect message latency. In this technical graduation assignment, you will take ownership of creating a comprehensive Latency Impact Framework. You will research which architectural changes cause latency bottlenecks, quantify their exact impact, and build a framework that predicts the 'latency costs' of new functionalities before implementation. Your research will directly safeguard the performance and scalability of Vanderlande's core data infrastructure.

Department description

You will join the Central Data & Analytics department, specifically embedded within one of our high-performing DevOps teams dedicated to Data Layer development. Our department provides central data platform solutions and governance across Vanderlande's global business units. You will work in an agile scrum environment alongside experienced data engineers, cloud architects, and software specialists.
