IoT platform for digital grid operations and energy infrastructure
SMIGHT operates a real-time data platform purpose-built for distribution grid operators managing the energy transition. The company's infrastructure stack (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana) reflects a distributed, observability-first approach to handling 1 billion data points per day — a scale challenge directly visible in their active projects around device fleet monitoring, sensor data preprocessing, and CI/CD hardening. Engineering dominates the hiring mix across a mix of seniority levels, with focused hiring in Germany.
SMIGHT develops IoT solutions that retrofit existing distribution networks with real-time monitoring and control capabilities. The core product, SMIGHT Grid, uses patented sensor technology and cloud infrastructure to give grid operators visibility into network dynamics and enable faster responses to regulatory and operational demands. The company serves utility companies managing power distribution in Germany and operates at a scale of 51–200 employees, with product development concentrated in Karlsruhe. Active work spans sensor data ingestion, real-time analytics, fleet management across distributed devices, and the internal platform architecture needed to support scale.
SMIGHT uses AWS, Azure, and GCP for cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes and Helm for orchestration, Terraform for IaC, Argo CD for CI/CD, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, Docker for containerization, and Python, Java, and C++ for application development.
SMIGHT's platform processes 1 billion data points per day, requiring distributed infrastructure and advanced monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure service availability and reliable sensor data transmission.
