Job Description
Senior Backend Engineer – IoT, Smart Platforms
Flatgigs
• Architect from Scratch: Design and implement a greenfield, microservice-based backend architecture optimized for high-throughput IoT data ingestion. • Hardware & SIM Integration: Directly integrate diverse hardware (Telematics, Smart Meters) and manage the M2M SIM lifecycle (provisioning, activation, and data limit orchestration) via telco APIs. • Protocol Implementation: Develop handlers for IoT protocols including MQTT, CoAP, HTTP/2, WebSockets, and LwM2M. • Connectivity Management: Implement logic to monitor signal strength (RSSI), manage APN configurations, and handle failover logic for devices using cellular M2M/eUICC technology. • Logic Development: Build complex backend logic for smart solutions, such as geofencing, real-time alerting, and automated data-usage capping to prevent SIM overages. • Data Orchestration: Manage massive streams of time-series data using PostgreSQL (and TimescaleDB) to ensure data integrity and query performance. • Security: Implement industry-standard security including TLS/SSL, X.509 certificates, and Private APN/VPN tunneling for secure M2M communication.
Job Requirements
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related field.
- Experience: 5+ years in Backend Development, with at least 3 years specifically focused on IoT/M2M product ecosystems.
- Analytical Skills: Ability to troubleshoot network-layer issues (packet loss, latency) specific to cellular M2M environments.
- Innovation: Demonstrated ability to take a product from a conceptual "scratch" phase to a production-ready, global scale.
- Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with eSIM/eUICC remote provisioning standards.
- Knowledge of Private APN setup and secure IPSEC/VPN tunneling between the Telco Core and the Cloud.
- Familiarity with hardware communication standards like RS-485, CAN bus, or Modbus.
