Responsibilities:

Technical Leadership: Drive the architectural vision for the miAlarm (B2C) and FinmonTech (B2B) ecosystems. Ensure systems are highly available ($99.9\%$ uptime) as they handle life-safety data.
Hands-On Development: Lead by example by writing high-quality, scalable code. You will tackle the most complex bugs and build the "skeleton" of new features.

Minimum Requirements:

Experience: 6+ years in Software Development with at least 2 years in a Lead/Senior capacity.
Backend: Proficiency in Python or Node.js (common for IoT backends) or Golang/C#.
