Cologne, Germany | UMH | Product Engineer | Full-time | 55 - 85k EUR | ONSITE (part remote)

Hi, Alex and Jeremy here from UMH.

8 years ago, Jeremy was absolutely frustrated with the status quo of data infrastructure in manufacturing. Companies paid millions per year for "shitty 90s software" and are still doing that today, when there is much better software out there for open-source. So we decided that we can do this better, first founded a System Integrator, realized most of the tasks in setting up and maintaining a data infrastructure can be standardized, and decided to found the currently VC-backed UMH, which is built on open source software and is open source itself.

What we're actually building: We build and scale a real-time data platform that runs hundreds of Benthos pipelines inside a single Docker container (UMH Core), processing millions of industrial messages that control actual production processes.

Plus a local-first user interface (Management Console) where both non-technical factory workers and power-users/developers can work together. And yes, we care about UI in enterprise/industrial software.

There is also the concern that a single pod shouldn’t be able to take down an entire node. So there needs to be some safety levels. But then also not. I find this is a really complex issue which is not widely known (only in Kubernetes bubble)


you can reserve node resources for system processes so the pods don't kill the node using some kubelet parameters: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/reserve-...


Yes!


Yeah, that is mainly the point there. But difficult if company internal policies require it (for security, etc)

Kicked Off = we have to stop for some technical reasons that are further unspecified, and everyone has to leave the train because we are driving now in the opposite direction. a replacement bus is coming. Once every hour. With a capacity of 8 people. In some cow village 50km far away from the next city. With no cab service available. Thats was what i meant

What facts are missing in your opinion?


I know how sketchy it sounds, and it was even documented in DB Navigator. But DB makes this information inaccessible a couple of days later in the app, so there is no way to „proof“ it except asking DB itself.


Just to be sure: your blog post mentions 24.12.2024 - did you mean 2025?

Is this the right connection?:

The RE5 seems to be operated by National Express, not Deutsche Bahn, right? (but DB InfraGo is most probably responsible for the routing)


Yes it is! And yes it was a typo! Thank you for finding the link to it. I was trying to find it before but couldn’t find it in official sources, DB deleted it from the official app. It did not stop at Troisdorf though.

It is operated by National Express, but I guess the routing comes from some other company (likely InfraGo)


Well I’ll be damned, I’ve really seen it all, OP sorry for doubting w
