- Hands-on experience with IoT protocols and platforms, device management, and telemetry ingestion.
- Familiarity with containerisation and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
- Experience with data processing technologies such as message brokers (Kafka, MQTT brokers), stream processors, time-series databases, or data lakes.
- Good knowledge of secure software development practices, authentication/authorisation (OAuth, JWT), and IoT-specific security considerations.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
- Typically3–5 years’ relevant experience in software or platform engineering with demonstrable IoT project experience preferred.
