You will primarily collaborate with the team to develop and maintain software for our gateways, ensuring performance, user friendliness, stability, and cybersecurity. 

You'll be part of an agile team (approx. 10 members) working closely with other IoT teams across Sweden, Denmark, and India. The team includes a product owner, tech lead, developers, designer, and tester.

Your work will be implemented, deployed, and used in real products across industries such as clean energy, water purification, food production, and pharmaceuticals. Here, you'll get to see your code in action – letting your efforts make a difference for our customers every single day.

Key Responsibilities

• Hands-on experience with Linux.

• Experience with Docker/containerization for hardware-specific deployments.

• Experience with Azure or equivalent cloud platforms

• Ability to quickly understand and solve complex technical problems.

• Experience in industrial IoT is a strong plus, but not essential if your coding skills are exceptional.
