Backend Systems Engineer - IOT/Smart City -12 months contract

Join the Software Engineering team on a physical Operations Technology (OT) integration project. You will build and maintain the backend systems that connect OT field devices to the digital twin platform — handling real-time data ingestion, protocol translation, and system integration across industrial communication standards.

• Develop and maintain backend services and middleware for OT/IoT data ingestion using OPC-UA, MODBUS, and MQTT protocols.
• Build data pipeline components that normalise, process, and route telemetry from field devices to platform services and 3D visualisation layers.
• Integrate AI codingtools (e.g. Claude, Copilot) into daily development workflows for code generation, unit testing, and validation — this is an expected practice, not optional.
• Write and maintain automated test suites covering protocol adapters, data transformation logic, and integration endpoints.
