LAKEORA is a Riyadh-based data and AI advisory firm and a pure-play Databricks partner. We build the governed data platforms that Saudi enterprises run their decisions on, going deep on one platform rather than wide across many, with governance designed in from the start. We are early-stage, flat, and deliberately small. You work directly with customers, own the architecture you design, and see it reach production. We like engineers who are direct, curious, and would rather get something right than get it agreed.
We're looking for an OT Engineer who understands industrial environments and can help bridge the gap between operational technology and modern enterprise data platforms.
You'll work with industrial systems, equipment, and data sources to support secure and reliable integration of operational data into modern data and analytics architectures.
This role sits at the intersection of industrial operations, OT systems, data, and technology, making it ideal for someone who understands both plant environments and digital transformation.
Work with OT systems and industrial data sources across manufacturing and operational environments
Support integration of operational data with enterprise data and analytics platforms
Work with systems including SCADA, PLC, DCS, historians, sensors, and industrial control environments
Understand and document OT architectures, data flows, assets, and connectivity requirements
Collaborate with data engineers, architects, cybersecurity teams, and client stakeholders
Support secure extraction and ingestion of industrial data for analytics and AI use cases
Troubleshoot OT connectivity, data quality, and integration issues
Contribute to architecture and solution-design discussions involving IT/OT convergence
Follow relevant industrial cybersecurity, governance, and safety requirements

Familiarity with data engineering or Databricks environments
Understanding of IT/OT convergence and Industry 4.0 initiatives
Knowledge of industrial cybersecurity frameworks and practices
