FLUVES; Gent; On-site; EUR 60,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluves in Gent, Belgium, is expanding its software team. We are building an edge-server platform, backend services and API integrations to securely, scalably process DAS/DTS data from field deployments to client applications.

As a software engineer you will work with product development to design and improve the edge and application layer, extend monitoring and benchmarks, and document best practices to accelerate deployments.

Responsibilities

• Take an active role in the development of the edge-server platform, application backend and API integrations.
• Challenge existing poor architectural patterns constructively and bring structure. Propose, showcase and implement architectural alternatives to improve the computational flow.
• Actively and continuously improve and modernize existing components, focusing on incremental, high-impact enhancements.
• Extend the existing monitoring and benchmarks and profile the current code to identify and improve bottle necks.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues in the product development team to design, build, and continuously improve product features in the edge and application layer, and deliver new integrations with internal, third-party, and client platforms.
• Document best practices and clarify trade-offs to shorten the time to deployment of new data product features.

Job description

Fluves is a pioneer in fiber optic sensing, combining advanced DTS and DAS technology, real-time data processing and smart analytics to monitor and protect critical infrastructure.

Through its Marlinks product line, Fluves monitors more than 1,800 km of subsea power cables linking offshore wind farms and power grids. The DALI product line detects leaks and intrusions in water networks. Fluves Corrosion assesses the risk of corrosion under insulation in chemical plants.

Fluves is a growing international scale-up, active in critical infrastructure markets around the world. Our products handle high-volume DAS/DTS signals. Doing that reliably depends on a IT stack with a set of backend (edge) services that ingest data, orchestrate workloads, expose APIs, and integrate outputs into our application. We are looking for a software engineer to build and evolve this stack, ensuring secure, scalable, and observable processing from field deployments through to client-facing applications.
