Role summary
We are hiring a hands-on Technical Lead to own the design and delivery of cloud
and application-platform capabilities for connected software systems. This role
is best suited to a senior engineer who is strongest in backend and
cloud-native platform engineering, can lead a small team, and has practical
exposure to telemetry, IoT, edge-connected, or hardware-integrated software
products.
You will
lead the software architecture and execution of APIs, services, data flows,
deployment patterns, and operator-facing applications that connect cloud
systems with devices or field systems. This is not a firmware lead role
and it is not a pure people-management role. The centre of gravity is




contemporary cloud/platform engineering with real-world connected-systems
integration.
