Job description

Job Description:

Job Title: IoT & Wearables Integration Engineer (Smart Home & Agentic AI)
Department: Engineering / Smart Home & AI Infrastructure
Location: Dubai, UAE (On-Site)
Employment Type: Full-time

About the Client

Our client is a Dubai-based real estate and hospitality developer building technology-led living environments. They are known for combining design, innovation and longevity-focused thinking. Their mission is to create homes that anticipate and adapt to the people who live in them. They are now expanding their engineering team to build an AI-driven smart home ecosystem.

About the Role

We are building an Agentic Home Framework: a next-generation smart home ecosystem that doesn’t just react to voice commands, but actively anticipates, adapts and responds to human biometrics and presence in real time.

Key Responsibilities

1. Wearable & Health Platform Data Pipelines

• Design and maintain robust API/SDK integrations with major wearable platforms, including Apple HealthKit, Google Health Connect, Oura Cloud, Whoop, and unified health APIs (e.g., Terra API, Human API).
• Process, normalise and ingest continuous biometrics (HRV, skin temperature, sleep stages, stress levels, recovery scores and blood oxygen) into our real-time agentic context engine.
• Implement data anonymisation, local-first storage paradigms and strict compliance standards (HIPAA / GDPR) to safeguard sensitive health metrics.

2. Micro-Location & Spatial Sensing

• Architect ambient presence systems using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) RSSI / AoA triangulation, Wi-Fi CSI sensing and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for hyper-local room tracking.
• Integrate occupancy sensors, room-level RFID tracking and optical/thermal sensors to identify user presence without requiring active user input.
• Coordinate with hardware/vision teams to integrate edge computer vision platforms (e.g., face scanners, OpenCV, depth cameras) for zero-friction identity and mood recognition.

3. Agentic Home Integration & Automation

• Translate biological signals (e.g., elevated stress, deep sleep onset, low recovery) into actionable triggers and context payloads for home automation agents via MQTT, WebSockets or gRPC.
• Build edge-friendly data reduction routines (filtering noise, handling offline buffering, calculating moving baselines using Kalman filters) to prevent signal overload on downstream home AI models.

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience: 4+ years of hands-on engineering experience in IoT, wearable data integration or ambient computing ecosystems.
• Health Platforms & APIs: Deep understanding of REST APIs, Webhooks, GraphQL and SDKs for Apple HealthKit, Google Health Connect, Oura, Whoop and similar health platforms.
• Spatial & Presence Tech: Practical experience with room-level tracking technologies:
  • BLE triangulation / Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) / RSSI filtering
  • Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) sensing or UWB spatial awareness
  • Passive Infrared (PIR), radar (mmWave) and RFID tracking systems
• Networking & Protocols: Strong grasp of low-power wireless protocols (BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, Matter) and real-time data transport (MQTT, WebSockets, gRPC).
• Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python, C/C++, Rust or TypeScript/Node.js.
• Edge Computing & Hardware: Experience with local edge gateways (e.g., Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, ESP32, Home Assistant ecosystem) and computer vision frameworks (OpenCV, MediaPipe).

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience developing context engines or state machines for smart home systems (e.g., Home Assistant, Matter standard, custom AI agents).
• Familiarity with biometric signal processing, anomaly detection or circadian rhythm modelling.
• Strong background in local-first architecture and end-to-end data encryption for privacy-preserving IoT systems.
