• growing & learning. Whether you're experienced with MQTT, Azure, and test automation or just diving into embedded systems and IoT protocols, we’re here to grow together. You'll learn from experts across hardware, cloud, and QA—while sharing your own skills along the way.

• working on architecture & vision. We blend legacy and modern technologies—from cloud-native microservices to IoT systems. Each new requirement is a chance to evaluate what needs to evolve, and to design thoughtful, scalable solutions that address challenges across the organization.

• steering for empathy and understanding. The best solutions start with listening—whether it's operators in the field, engineers on the floor, or stakeholders across the business. By asking the right questions and truly understanding how connected devices are used, we build systems that solve real problems, not just technical ones.
