Network Contracting Solutions is seeking a hands-on Senior Full-Stack, Data & Industrial Software Engineer for a 6-month, ad-hoc/call-off engagement based in Kempton Park. The successful candidate will help build and support a software and data platform that collects operational data, processes it reliably, stores historical information, exposes APIs and presents live and historical information to users.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop local/edge data-collection services and integrations with machine or OT data sources.
• Build backend services and production-grade REST APIs.
• Design and implement SQL relational data models, historical records and audit structures.
• Develop responsive browser dashboards and operational user interfaces.
• Implement live or near-real-time updates using SignalR, WebSockets, polling or suitable alternatives.
• Build reliable buffering, store-and-forward, retry, duplicate-prevention and recovery mechanisms for temporary connectivity failures.

Job Experience & Skills Required / Ideal Candidate Profile:

• A degree or diploma in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering or a related field is advantageous, but not essential.
• Relevant Microsoft/.NET, Azure, database or DevOps certifications are beneficial but not mandatory.

Experience

• Strong backend and database engineering experience, with front-end capability to deliver operational dashboards.
• Experience designing for data integrity, concurrency, failure recovery, retries and observability.
• Experience deploying and monitoring applications in Azure App Service or an equivalent hosting environment.
• Experience with telemetry, IoT, field-service, logistics, manufacturing or other operational systems is advantageous.
