Your role involves bridging the gap between hardware and software by developing APIs, middleware, and cloud integration layers, as well as optimizing communication protocols for real-time applications.

This position requires a strong technical background combined with the ability to work collaboratively across multiple disciplines, including hardware engineering, data analytics, and networking teams. Beyond coding, you will mentor junior developers, lead technical discussions, and provide input on system architecture, development workflows, and emerging IoT trends. You will also ensure the reliability of the overall IoT ecosystem by implementing rigorous testing, monitoring, and performance tuning strategies.

DETAILED JOB DESCRIPTION:

• Design and develop robust IoT applications, device communication layers, and middleware for seamless connectivity.
• Architect device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device communication frameworks, ensuring scalability and real-time performance.
• Build and maintain APIs, microservices, and backend solutions to support IoT data pipelines.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, cloud, data analytics) to integrate devices, gateways, and sensors.
• Lead troubleshooting and debugging efforts for complex IoT communication issues or integration challenges.
• Conduct performance testing, system validation, and security audits of IoT deployments.
• Mentor junior engineers by providing technical guidance, reviewing code, and promoting best development practices.
• Contribute to the design and documentation of IoT system architecture, including data flow diagrams and security models.
• Stay current with the latest IoT frameworks, protocols, and edge computing trends, driving adoption of relevant technologies.
• Lead technical discussions and participate in project planning to ensure efficient and timely delivery.
• Work with DevOps teams to set up CI/CD pipelines for IoT applications, including OTA (Over-The-Air) updates.
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards, data privacy regulations, and industry benchmarks.

DETAILED JOB REQUIREMENT:
