Senior Back-End Engineer - remote

About us

Infogrid is making the unfulfilled promise of scalable IoT (Internet of Things) a reality. Our goal is to be the global go-to provider for connected devices in smart buildings, creating dynamic solutions for everyday challenges. Our mantra is "keep it simple, keep it stable" and this ethos drives our product development.

We are a small, rapidly expanding team, but already have a broad portfolio of blue-chip clients –a testament to the strength of our product market fit. We are supported by The University of Oxford’s accelerator and smart-money investors.

Infogrid is an IoT platform (Sensors + SaaS) capable of handling millions of data events from hundreds of thousands of sensors every day. With cutting-edge, low-cost micro sensors provided by a 3rd party partner we're able to turn any building into a ‘smart’building at a fraction of the cost of existing providers. The simplicity of our solution enables clients to self-install thousands of sensors in a matter of hours, and receive immediate real-time data. With the analytics and reporting we generate, companies can run more efficiently, pre-empt failures, save money, meet regulatory requirements, provide better environments
