Permanent Futures Limited
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. Apply Now! If you re a proactive IoT engineer who loves solving connectivity challenges and wants to help bring a new industrial product to market, we d love to hear from you!
