Design and deploy multi-protocol IoT integrations (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN) from native sensors to cloud platforms.
Build data-ingestion services for telemetry, events, status updates, and firmware metadata.
Develop integration frameworks and APIs that bridge sensor networks, edge gateways, and cloud data platforms.
Design schemas, data models, and transformation logic for sensor data pipelines.
Manage cloud infrastructure and edge systems using infrastructure-as-code and deployment tooling.
Own end-to-end QA across firmware, tag provisioning, mobile apps, web applications, and cloud services.
Write and maintainunit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
Build automated testing frameworks for validating sensor integrations and data accuracy.
Implement CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
Investigate and resolve production issues across integrations, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
Improve system reliability through retries, idempotency, monitoring, and error handling.
Lead by influence across the engineering stack. Set clear goals, priorities, and quality standards.
