This position is ideal for a technically versatile engineer who can independently manage full-stack software development as well as hands-on device configuration and integration.

Job Summary:
The Software Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining smart home and construction-related software systems. In addition, the role requires integrating software with hardware devices on-site—such as smart sensors, control panels, and automation systems—without the support of a dedicated hardware team. You will work on both front-end and back-end systems and ensure seamless integration between devices and software platforms used in real estate and smart building environments.

Key Responsibilities:
Software Development:

• Develop and maintain software systems for smart home automation, energy monitoring, and project tracking.
• Build back-end infrastructure for collecting and processing data from smart devices.
• Create intuitive user interfaces (web/mobile) for homeowners and building managers.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code tailored to real estate and construction applications.
• Deploy and update software systems across project sites; monitor and resolve system bugs.
• Design cloud-based platforms and dashboards for device control and status monitoring.

System Integration & Hardware Setup:

• Configure and test smart home devices (e.g., thermostats, lights, security systems) during installation.
• Set up and troubleshoot network connections for smart systems in new builds.
• Ensure smooth communication between software applications and smart hardware.
• Perform basic hardware programming (e.g., Raspberry Pi, ESP32, Arduino) as needed for automation.
• Support on-site system setup, including diagnostics, firmware updates, and system testing.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• A diploma or degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is required.
• A minimum of 3-5 years of experience in IT systems, software development, or technical consulting is required.
• 3 or 4 years of supervised work experience in engineering is required.
• Proven experience in developing and deploying software systems involving hardware-software integration.
• Familiarity with smart home technologies and protocols (e.g., Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT) is an asset.
• Strong understanding of networking, system security, and server configuration (Windows/Linux).
• Ability to work independently on both software and hardware aspects of smart systems.
• Experience with IT infrastructure, remote support, and system optimization is an asset.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a collaborative approach.

Language Skills:

• Fluency in English is mandatory.
• Second language (e.g., Mandarin, Cantonese) is a strong asset.
