• Develop and optimize communication protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) for seamless device-to-app connectivity.


• Integrate with sensors and controllers using SPI and I²C protocols.


• Partner with systems engineers to validate performance and ensure reliability in real-world applications.


• Collaborate with companion teams (Android/iOS developers, product, hardware) to ensure end-to-end functionality.


• Apply agile best practices and work effectively in asynchronous collaboration environments.


• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and ensure high-quality, testable code.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
