JOB OVERVIEW

We are a health technology company building a real-time IoT monitoring platform for senior
care. Our sensors run continuously in homes and care facilities, streaming event and vitals data
to our cloud. When someone falls, an alert has to reach a monitoring centre in seconds. Missed
events are not acceptable.
We are scaling from hundreds of devices to several thousand this year with enterprise
customers across the US, UK, Canada and Australia. We have a small in-house engineering
team and multiple partner API integrations running in parallel. We need a senior technical voice
reviewing what gets built and keeping delivery honest.
What you will do
? Review every pull request before merge. You are the merge gate.
? Run a 15 minute daily standup with the engineering team. Blockers, direction, decisions.
? Review timelines across all active projects. Challenge estimates, split oversized tasks,
flag slippage early, and track partner-side blockers as first class items.
? Set the standard for how work is organised. Ticket structure, definition of done,
branching, review rules. Then enforce it.
? Assess our current architecture and deliver a written report on what breaks first at 10x
load.
? Advise on event pipeline design, database scaling, queue durability, and failover.
? Join technical calls with enterprise customers on scalability, uptime, and integration
questions.
What we need
? 10+ years building backend systems in production, with real ownership after launch
? Hands-on IoT or real-time telemetry experience. Device fleets, continuous data streams,
connection management at scale. This is a hard requirement.
? Node.js in depth, MongoDB at scale, message queues, REST and webhook integrations
? You have taken a system from small scale to thousands of concurrent connected
devices and you remember exactly what broke
? Healthcare or safety-critical systems experience is a strong advantage
? You can tell a non-technical founder a timeline is wrong, and explain why in plain
language
? Reliable 8 to 10 hours per week, 24 hour turnaround on reviews, available for a fixed
daily standup slot
How this works
? 8 to 10 hours per week, fully remote, one fixed daily slot plus flexible time
? Two week paid trial on real pull requests and one architecture question, then a 3 month
engagement
? Direct line to the founder, no layers
? Hands-on technical role. Not people management, not pre-sales.
