* Strong Python and/or Java skills, plus experience with frameworks like Flask, Django or Spring Boot
* Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and other structured/unstructured data tools
* Experience ingesting building or device data via protocols such as MQTT, Modbus, BACnet, or similar
* Strong understanding of cloud-native services (AWS preferred), CI/CD, and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
* Practical understanding of how to deploy, scale, and secure systems in production
* Experience integrating AI/ML solutions into data pipelines is a plus
* Excellent communication skills – capable of collaborating across technical and non-technical teams
What’s on Offer
* A chance to define and shape backend architecture for a growing, technically respected company
* Flexible work environment with high autonomy and ownership
* Work alongside a visionary product and engineering team
* Real-world projects with environmental, operational, and commercial impact
* Opportunity to lead initiatives and mentor other engineers
Apply now to be part of a team that's applying advanced technology to the built world – from real-time performance analytics to large-scale automation infrastructure.
