• Architect solutions utilizing Java and Spring frameworks to build robust backend services that collect, process, and analyze real-time data from connected IoT devices.
• Design and implement microservices architecture to enhance system modularity, scalability, and ease of maintenance.
• Ensure that IoT applications are integrated with cloud platforms and edge computing solutions to optimize data collection and processing.
• Collaborate with product management, DevOps, and hardware teams to develop end-to-end solutions, including device connectivity, protocols, and real-time data processing.
• Define the IoT technology roadmap and continuously evaluate emerging technologies that can be applied to enhance the remote monitoring systems.
• Stay up to date with IoT protocols (MQTT, CoAP), device management, and embedded systems to recommend the best-fit solutions.
• Lead the selection of technology stacks, frameworks, and tools that enhance productivity, ensure maintainability, and improve system reliability.
• Drive innovation in RMC by exploring AI/ML models and predictive analytics to create intelligent monitoring systems.
• Oversee the full development lifecycle of IoT applications, including design, coding, testing, and deployment, with a strong focus on Java, Spring Boot, and related ecosystems.
• Establish coding standards, best practices, and software development methodologies (Agile, Scrum) to ensure consistent high-quality deliverables.
• Ensure applications are cloud-native and compatible with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), utilizing containers (Docker, Kubernetes) and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Collaborate with the DevOps team to streamline deployments, automate processes, and ensure system reliability through robust monitoring and alerting systems.
• Architect secure IoT solutions by embedding security-by-design principles in application and data layer architecture.
• Ensure that remote monitoring systems comply with industry standards for data privacy, security, and cybersecurity frameworks (such as ISO 27001, NIST).
• Implement secure authentication, authorization, and encryption protocols for IoT devices and applications.
• Work closely with business stakeholders, hardware teams, and external partners to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Serve as a key point of contact for IoT platform architecture, working cross-functionally to ensure the smooth implementation of business goals.
• Provide technical leadership to the development team and guide junior engineers in best practices, design patterns, and architectural principles.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 10+ years of software development experience, with at least 5 years focused on architecting and designing IoT or remote monitoring applications.
• Proven expertise in Java (8 or above) and Spring Boot framework for designing and building backend services.
• Strong knowledge of IoT protocols, cloud-based architectures, and microservices design.
• Experience with edge computing, real-time data processing, and integrating with platforms like AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, or Google Cloud IoT.
• Expertise in containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes for deploying scalable solutions.
• Knowledge of IoT device security, identity management, and over-the-air (OTA) updates for connected devices.
• Experience working with Big Data platforms (Kafka, Hadoop, etc.) for processing and storing large-scale IoT data.
• Familiarity with machine learning and predictive analytics applied to IoT data to create intelligent monitoring solutions.
• Certifications in cloud services (AWS, Azure) or Java-related technologies are a plus.
