Job Description
· Join the Software Engineering team on a physical Operations Technology (OT) integration project.
· You will build and maintain the backend systems that connect OT field devices to the digital twin platform — handling real-time data ingestion, protocol translation, and system integration across industrial communication standards.
Key Responsibilities
· Develop and maintain backend services and middleware for OT/IoT data ingestion using OPC-UA, MODBUS, and MQTT protocols.
· Build data pipeline components that normalise, process, and route telemetry from field devices to platform services and 3D visualisation layers.
· Integrate AI coding tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot) into daily development workflows for code generation, unit testing, and validation — this is an expected practice, not optional.
· Write and maintain automated test suites covering protocol adapters, data transformation logic, and integration endpoints.
· Collaborate with frontend Unity engineers and systems architects to define and implement API contracts (REST/WebSocket).
· Participate in code reviews, contribute to technical documentation, and support deployment through CI/CD pipelines.
· Troubleshoot field connectivity and protocol issues; work with OT/hardware teams on device commissioning and debugging.
Required qualification/skills::
· Hands-on experience with OPC-UA, MODBUS, and MQTT — protocol implementation, not just conceptual familiarity.
· Proficiency in backend development (Python, Node.js, Go, or Java — at least one).
· Active use of AI tools for coding, testing, and validation in prior roles or personal projects.
· Experience writing integration and unit tests; familiarity with test automation frameworks.
· Comfortable working with message brokers (MQTT brokers, Kafka, or similar) and time-series or event-driven data.
Good to Have::
· Exposure to digital twin platforms or industrial IoT stacks.
· Familiarity with OT security considerations (network segmentation, secure protocol configuration).
· Experience with containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes) and CI/CD tooling.
· Knowledge of BACnet, DNP3, or other industrial protocols.
Experience Required::
· 2–5 years in backend or systems software engineering, with at least some exposure to OT/IoT environments.
· Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
