About Able Innovations

We are seeking a Full-Stack IoT Systems Developer to build and maintain the software infrastructure connecting our robotic platforms to cloud-based services and applications. This role spans device-to-cloud communication, data ingestion and processing, backend services, databases, and user-facing applications. You will work closely with software, firmware, and hardware engineers to transform device telemetry into reliable, actionable information for internal teams and healthcare customers.

Experience developing software for physical IoT devices is essential. You should understand the challenges of distributed connectivity, intermittent networks, real-time data processing, and reliable communication between devices and cloud infrastructure. As an early member of this initiative, you will also help establish maintainable software architecture, development standards, and engineering practices that allow the broader team to contribute effectively.

Responsibilities:

• IoT & Device Connectivity: Develop and maintain device-to-cloud communication, telemetry infrastructure, and messaging systems.
• Backend & Data Processing: Build backend services, data pipelines, APIs, and database structures for processing and accessing device and operational data.
• Data Reliability: Ensure data accuracy and integrity through validation, error handling, synchronization, and recovery mechanisms.
• Frontend Development: Develop web applications and dashboards that present device telemetry and operational insights in meaningful ways.
• System Reliability: Implement monitoring, logging, and fault-tolerance mechanisms to maintain system availability and identify issues.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Deploy, maintain, and optimize cloud services, balancing scalability with operational costs.
• Software Architecture: Establish maintainable software patterns, documentation, development standards, and automated testing practices.
• Engineering Collaboration: Work with software, firmware, and hardware engineers to develop solutions, review implementations, and make collaborative technical decisions.

Required Skills:

• 2–4 years of relevant experience in full-stack development, IoT systems, or related software engineering fields.
• Experience developing software for physical IoT devices, robotics, or other connected hardware systems.
• Proficiency in a backend programming language such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar.
• Experience with modern frontend frameworks and web application development.
• Practical experience with cloud platforms, relational databases, and SQL.
• Familiarity with IoT communication protocols such as MQTT, WebSockets, and REST APIs.
• Understanding of distributed systems, intermittent connectivity, data integrity, and fault tolerance.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including modular architecture, testing, version control, and code reviews.

Bonus Skills:

• Real-Time Systems: Experience with streaming data, event-driven architectures, or RTLS integrations.
• Embedded Systems: Familiarity with embedded Linux, firmware-HMI communication, CAN bus, or serial communications.
• DevOps: Experience with CI/CD, containerization, infrastructure as code, and cloud cost optimization.
• Security & Compliance: Knowledge of secure software development and medical device cybersecurity standards (e.g., FDA requirements, ISO/IEC 81001-5-1, UL 2900).
• AI-Assisted Development: Experience using AI development tools while maintaining code quality, architectural consistency, and reviewable implementations.
• Domain Experience: Experience in medical devices, healthcare, robotics, or other regulated industries.

You Will Be Successful If You Are

• Adaptable: Comfortable working across different areas of the software stack as project needs evolve.
• Collaborative: Effective at working with engineers from different technical backgrounds and sharing ownership of technical decisions.
• Accountable: Take ownership of deliverables and prioritize system reliability, data accuracy, and software quality.
• Proactive: Comfortable identifying problems, investigating solutions, and working with evolving requirements.
• Pragmatic: Balance development speed with maintainability, scalability, and sound engineering practices.

Application Requirements

Please submit your resume and cover letter as PDF documents with the naming format "ISD2611_Firstname_Lastname". Feel free to include relevant projects, GitHub repositories, or technical portfolios.
