⚡ What does Dehn do?

Dehn is a German company with over a century of history 😮. They were born creating protections for lightning and electrical surges, and over the years they have evolved towards hardware and software related to this same field. Their devices and software are responsible for preventing electrical surges and hazards.

It is an international company, with more than 2000 employees all over the world, and they have more than 20 offices in different countries, including Spain, where their subsidiary is Dehn Ibérica.

If you want to know the history of a company with more than a century of history, they have a very cool timeline on their website.

If you notice, one of their latest milestones on this timeline is the appointment of their CTO, Christian Höhler in 2020. Which shows the dimension that technology has in this stage of the company, where software is essential.

🤔 What is the product like?

They have hundreds of internal and external applications. From their own patented software that helps them measure thousands of environmental data, to electrical control software that saves lives, to their management applications. A company with such a history also has a very broad technological history.

The Spanish delegation has grown a lot in recent years, and it is also a strategic point for their logistics. That is why they have thought about establishing a technological operation center, a HUB, in Madrid. They have started with some operations personnel, but their intention is to create a team of 30/40 people in the coming years.🥳

They are having problems stabilizing the infrastructure due to the accelerated growth of recent years, in addition to wanting to create new software that replaces old applications and helps them automate many actions.

💪 What is the challenge?

They have formulated a long-term technology strategy spanning seven years, with a primary objective of assessing their extensive array of applications comprehensively. This entails a thorough understanding, prioritization of vital systems, identification of those necessitating revision or refactoring, and recognition of those requiring complete redevelopment.

While their architectural framework is cloud-based, it does not currently meet their desired level of robustness. Therefore, the principal aim is to execute a digital infrastructure transformation to ensure the reliable high availability of their services. 🥷

Your mission will involve close collaboration with their German team to fortify and enhance the existing infrastructure. Automation will serve as a cornerstone in your efforts, aimed at eradicating vulnerabilities and minimizing downtime. Furthermore, you will take the lead in API development, emphasizing practical implementation over algorithmic design. Your expertise will play a pivotal role in crafting a roadmap that will guide our Spanish team as they embark on their assignments. This is a long-term project that not only presents challenges but also opens doors for career advancement within the company.

They seek to consolidate these objectives into a well-defined roadmap, enabling the Spanish team to commence their work. This long-term endeavor offers an exciting opportunity for you to chart your career growth within their product.
