Software Developer - Industrial IoT Platform (GDN)

You will work on the continued development of the Global Data Network (GDN) platform - the central portal through which industrial sensor data is visualised, analysed, and interpreted.

Working as part of a team of developers, you will contribute to both front-end and back-end development, helping to deliver new features, improve system performance, and expand the analytical capabilities of the platform.

The role involves working with large volumes of telemetry data from industrial IoT sensors, supporting advanced analytics and AI-driven insights developed by our data science team.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop features for the Global Data Network (GDN) platform
• Build intuitive interfaces for exploring and analysing industrial data
• Develop backend services responsible for data ingestion, processing, and aggregation
• Integrate frontend dashboards with backend services and telemetry databases
• Implement advanced data visualisation tools (time-series plots, heatmaps, trend analysis)
• Ensure reliable and secure communication with cloud infrastructure
• Work collaboratively with software developers, data analysts, and engineers
• Contribute to the ongoing development roadmap for the platform

Our Development Environment

Our platform is built using modern web technologies including:

• TypeScript / JavaScript
• Angular
• Express.js
• SQL / NoSQL databases
• Linux environments
• Cloud-based infrastructure supporting industrial IoT data pipelines, While developers typically do not interact directly with clients, the systems you build support global engineering projects, helping operators monitor and improve the performance of critical infrastructure.

Do you have experience in SQL?, We are looking for a mid-level or senior developer capable of taking ownership of development tasks with minimal supervision once familiar with the system architecture.

You should enjoy solving complex problems and working with real-world engineering data.

Essential

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Telecommunications, or similar
• Experience in JavaScript / TypeScript development
• Experience working across frontend and backend systems (full-stack)
• Knowledge of modern web frameworks (e.g. Angular or similar)
• Experience working with databases (SQL or NoSQL)
• Familiarity with Linux environments
• Understanding of software design principles and best practices
• Good working knowledge of English

Advantageous

• Experience with industrial IoT systems
• Experience handling large telemetry datasets
• Experience with data visualisation frameworks
• Cloud infrastructure experience
