Senior Software Engineer

Where You’ll Work: This is a remote-friendly role - most of your work in practice can be done remotely, with occasional in-person collaboration at our Porto office. Our engineers tell us that flexibility is one of the things they value most about working here.

Job Duties and Responsibilities: Reporting to the Digital Integration Director, you will own software solutions end to end, from framing the business problem to running services reliably in production, built on real-time telemetry from industrial IoT sensors monitoring liquid and gas storage tanks across industries including industrial chemical, industrial gas, propane, and other fuels. Collaborate for success

• Own projects end to end, starting from a greenfield state: define your own requirements, shape the roadmap, and take solutions through to production.
• Work cross-functionally with teams like Sales and Marketing, translating business goals into working software.
• Make the technical decisions and contribute significantly to the implementation - this is a hands-on role, not a hand-off-to-others one.

Build data-driven systems

• Build and operate the backend services and APIs behind a platform ingesting real-time telemetry from industrial IoT sensors at sites across the globe.
• Design and run the data pipelines that turn that telemetry into something people can act on - including forecasting and anomaly detection on time series.
• Work with the realities of sensor data: gaps, drift, irregular sampling, and a device population that keeps evolving. Bring the statistical judgment to tell a real signal from noise, and to say how confident we should be.
• Run what you build - instrumentation, alerting, and the operational habits that keep a system healthy.

Engineer with AI assistance

• Use agentic coding tools - Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, and similar - as a normal part of daily delivery.
• Hold AI-generated code to the same bar as any other code. You are accountable for what you ship.
• Structure repositories, tests, and documentation so both people and agents can work in them effectively, and share the patterns and guardrails that work so the team’s baseline rises.
• Apply Anova’s AI Handbook guidance on risk and human-in-the-loop validation to any system whose output reaches a customer or drives an automated action.

Advocate for quality

• Contribute to and continuously adapt best practices and Ways of Working across software engineering, data engineering, and platform operations, so the team ships high-quality solutions that create real impact for our clients.

What Success Looks Like

• Backend services and data pipelines for real-time IoT telemetry run reliably in production, with strong instrumentation and alerting in place.
• Forecasting and anomaly detection outputs are trustworthy enough that customers and internal stakeholders act on them with confidence.
• Engineering practices - code review, testing, CI/CD, AI-assisted development - visibly raise the team’s baseline, not just this person’s own output.
• Other engineers are actively mentored and leveled up through code review and design discussion.
• Business stakeholders trust this person to translate technical trade-offs and uncertainty into decisions they can act on.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or another quantitative or scientific field - or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 5+ years in software engineering or a closely related role, including hands-on production deployment (6-8 years preferred). A completed PhD in a quantitative or scientific discipline, with substantial hands-on programming, counts toward this.
• Strong Python and the engineering habits that go with it: git, code review, linters, unit tests, and CI/CD pipelines are things you use daily.
• Strong analytical ability and working fluency with statistics: distributions, uncertainty, correlation and causation, and knowing when a result is real.
• Solid SQL and experience working with data at scale - pandas, PySpark, and platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, or Postgres.
• Experience operating software in production: deployment, monitoring, alerting, and a feel for the practices that make that sustainable.
• Fluency with agentic coding tools.
• Fluent in written and spoken English.

Preferred Qualifications -

• Depth in the Azure Databricks platform: PySpark, streaming pipelines.
• Time series work in production: forecasting, anomaly detection, or similar.
• Experience with message queuing systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
• Experience implementing agentic workflows in production - building them, not just calling them.
• Hands-on with an agent framework: LangChain / LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, MetaGPT, or similar. We care that you have shipped one, not which one.
• Familiarity with the interoperability protocols - MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent2Agent) - for exposing systems as tools other agents can call directly, and for getting agents to talk to each other.
• Experience with Microsoft Foundry for building, evaluating, and deploying agents.
• Domain experience in industrial, energy, or IoT settings.
