The Opportunity

As Backend Engineer focusing on IoT and Embedded systems, you will design and implement scalable backend services enabling our data ingestion, device management, and analytics pipelines for IoT ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement backend components that interface directly with embedded systems, edge devices, and hardware abstraction layers.

Create and communicate multiple design views to address the concerns of IoT stakeholders, balancing real-time constraints with long-term maintainability.

Simulate and validate software behaviour in constrained environments using mock sensors or digital twins.

Design, implement, test, and refactor backend modules, device provisioning flows, and messaging bridges (e.g., MQTT, CoAP, AMQP).

Participate in edge-cloud integration design involving protocols such as HTTP, WebSocket, and MQTT over TLS.

Define and manage scoping, requirement definition, and prioritization for device-side software and backend middleware.

Elicit, analyse, and document system-level and firmware-interfacing requirements with a focus on reliability, uptime, and throughput.

Select and apply software development methodologies suited for hardware-software co-development (Agile, iterative prototyping, etc.)

Design test cases for IoT data ingestion, device events, and firmware update cycles, including unit, integration, and field validation testing.

Develop and maintain deep expertise in embedded system interactions, RTOS environments, device identity, and secure boot where applicable.

Build scalable backend services for telemetry storage, device shadow/state management, and command processing pipelines.

Participate in architecture discussions around distributed sensor networks, gateway integration, and data aggregation frameworks.

Write reusable libraries, containerized modules, and SDKs for device and service integration

Develop backend APIs and microservices for managing IoT devices and embedded dataflows.

Integrate with real-time messaging and telemetry platforms.

Optimize backend services for performance, scalability, and reliability.

Collaborate with frontend, DevOps, and data engineering teams to ensure seamless delivery.

Write clean, maintainable code and comprehensive documentation.

Comply with QHSE (Quality Health Safety and Environment), Business Continuity, Information Security, Privacy, Risk, Compliance Management and Governance of Organizations policies, procedures, plans, and related risk assessments.

Requirements

Rquirements:

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, or a related technical field

years of experience in backend development with an emphasis on IoT or embedded system integration

Proficient in backend technologies such as Python, Go, or C++ for embedded-facing layers

At least 3 years of experience working with IoT protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, Modbus, or CAN

Experience building and securing RESTful APIs and edge-facing endpoints

Strong knowledge of Linux-based embedded platforms, serial interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C), and OTA update mechanisms

Hands-on experience in Docker containerization, managing containers in Kubernetes, or similar environments

Familiarity with SQL/NoSQL databases like PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, or time-series stores for telemetry

Experience integrating with cloud IoT platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, GCP IoT Core) is a plus

Fluent English and Arabic is required
