We are partnering with a fast-growing industrial technology business that has designed a brand-new IoT product combining electronics, firmware, and cloud-based monitoring tools. With a major product launch underway, and significant demand from global customers, the company is now looking to appoint a hands-on IoT / DevOps Engineer to own device connectivity, data flows, and system integration across their next-generation platform.

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, agile, engineering-driven organisation where your work directly shapes both product launch and future versions. Most important is that you have a positive mindset, enjoy a challenge and problem solving, and enjoy getting things done by whatever route best suits the situation.

IOT DevOps Engineer - The Role

Acting as the bridge between hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure, you will be responsible for getting the company s new IoT device reliably connected from:

Sensor/Device Tablet (Bluetooth) Cloud Dashboard (ThingsBoard).

You ll work across real hardware, embedded devices, gateways, industrial protocols, and cloud dashboards ensuring data moves cleanly, securely, and consistently.

This is not a pure coding role. It is a practical, problem-solving IoT role suited to someone who enjoys getting stuck in , figuring things out, and taking full ownership of connectivity, configuration, and deployment.

IOT DevOps Engineer - Key Responsibilities

Connectivity & Integration

• Connect new IoT hardware to a tablet via Bluetooth, ensuring reliable pairing, data transfer, and stability.
• Configure and manage data flows into a cloud dashboard (ThingsBoard or similar), ensuring smooth end-to-end data movement.
• Develop and maintain Node-RED flows to ingest, transform, and route data across IoT and industrial systems.

Future Network Development

• Support ongoing development of the upcoming LoRaWAN version of the product, including gateway configuration and data routing concepts.
• Learn and work with gateway-side tools such as Chirpstack or similar LoRaWAN Network Servers.

Systems & Deployment

• Troubleshoot devices, gateways, networks, and on-site deployments.
• Assist with basic Linux, Docker, VPN, and firewall tasks to ensure secure, uninterrupted data flows.
• Work with industrial protocols such as Modbus-TCP, OPC-UA, HTTP/MQTT, APIs, and other data transport standards.

Customer Interaction

• Occasionally speak with end customers including global enterprise IT teams to explain connectivity, data security, and system configuration.
• Support field deployments and contribute to clear documentation, onboarding processes, and runbooks.

IOT DevOps Engineer - What This Company Is Really Looking For

Beyond technical skills, culture and mindset matter enormously. The business is small, fast-paced and expects people to manage their own workload, take accountability, and operate without micromanagement.

They value individuals who:

• Are proactive, curious, and willing to have a go at everything .
• Can manage time effectively in an environment with limited hand-holding.
• Enjoy bridging hardware, software, cloud, and networking.
• Take pride in solving problems independently and finishing tasks.

Essential Skills & Experience

You don t need to be an expert in everything, but strong capability in the following is required:

• Bluetooth connectivity experience (device to app/tablet).
• Node-RED (creating or modifying workflows / data pipelines).
• General IoT systems understanding: sensors data cloud.
• Experience with connected devices, dataflows, gateways, APIs.
• Basic experience with Linux, Docker, VPNs, firewall rules, or similar.
• Understanding of industrial or IoT protocols (e.g., Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, HTTP).

Why This Role Is Exciting

• You will directly influence a brand-new industrial IoT product in the final stages of launch.
• You ll work with cutting-edge sensing and connectivity technology across multiple industries.
• The role will grow potentially leading to future product development or even building a small team.
• Real autonomy: no micromanagement, genuine ownership, real impact.
