Desirable Experience:

• Infrastructure‑as‑Code concepts and tooling
• Video streaming or video management systems
• CCTV or surveillance deployments
• Networking fundamentals (VPNs, firewalls, routing)
• Messaging technologies (e.g. MQTT or similar)
• Strong analytical skills and ability to work autonomously
• Comfortable working directly with clients, integrators, and project stakeholders

Tech Environment:

• Back end: TypeScript (Node.js), Golang
