Role
Who you are
- A proven track record of successful code deployment in industry (1+ years) and be well-versed in industry best practices
- Proven experience and knowledge of Python (Micropython, FastAPI), and C/C++
- Knowledge of communication protocols such as NB-IoT, SPI, I2C, UART, etc
- Ability to optimise resource constrained, low power systems and devices
- A top University Graduate with a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering or equivalent
- Have full-stack experience, with the ability to identify problems and opportunities on all layers of the coding stack + take initiative to solve them
- You are excited by the prospect of learning new languages, frameworks and tools as well as being ready to adapt our codebase with these (e.g integrating A.I across tech stack)
- An embedded superstar who is an expert at working with low level systems and memory/power management
- You enjoy a multi-faceted exposure to workstreams in the domain of IoT, sensor technology, embedded systems, microcontrollers, PCB design, hardware, firmware, software
- You have excellent communication abilities whereby you can easily synthesise client requirements into well engineered solutions and vice versa where you can describe complex engineering concepts to non-technical stakeholders effectively
- You enjoy collaborating with a small team with diverse backgrounds and experiences
- Tackling the impact of climate change with technical solutions resonates with you
Desirable
- Knowledge of any of the following: IoT, GSM/AT Commands, ESP32, ATMEGA, Arduino, LTE/Narrowband communication, hardware automation
- Experience with: RTC, memory mapped IO, OS Architecture, hardware registers, device drivers, and hardware debugging tools such as Ampy and Picocom
- Experience with battery tech modelling and optimisation
- Experience with Distributed Systems, Systems Security
- Knowledge of Typescript (React is a big plus)
- Experience with containerised applications (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Experience with KiCad, hardware design tools, and circuit schema
- Experience with Machine Learning
What the job involves
- You will be working closely with fellow team members to plan, produce, test and deploy new embedded features, design and implement memory and power efficient solutions, and offer engineering support for our product and back-end infrastructure as we scale across the UK and further afield
- You will have the opportunity to improve the efficiency and reliability of our deployed sensors and back-end software while also implementing new features, algorithms, and functionality to enable proactive flood monitoring
- You will be at the forefront of seeing the real-world impact of your work as you improve the performance of our sensors, and streamline the suite of tools we build to solve the problem of flooding
- Your day to day might include flashing and/or debugging firmware on microcontrollers and LTE modems, optimising embedded software for memory and power usage, developing back-end APIs and/or algorithms for data transfers, and writing code that scales
- You will balance speed, consistency and quality, while focusing on producing tangible results
- You will work shoulder to shoulder with the CTO and engineering team to help us scale fast in a robust manner
Application process
- Application submission via Otta before 23:59 on 1st April
- Initial video screen (15 mins) with CEO w/c 8th April
- Technical Coding Assessment with CTO (1 hour) w/c 22nd April
- Final interviews on-site with CTO & CEO (full-stack 45 mins, front-end 30 mins, culture fit 30 mins) (2 hours) w/c 22nd April

Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
As the effects of climate change intensify, the frequency of flooding events is increasing. However, major infrastructures are currently grappling with a reactive approach, mainly due to the scale of their networks and the absence of adequate sensing technology and analytics. This approach proves to be expensive and environmentally harmful. Recognising these challenges, ManholeMetrics wants to address these issues and provide an effective solution to mitigate the impact of flooding.
ManholeMetrics provides cost-effective, long-lasting sensors that are designed to monitor wastewater levels. These sensors are accompanied by real-time and predictive alert systems, allowing infrastructure operators to take a proactive approach to flood management. Through this proactive approach, ManholeMetrics enables the creation of calibrated models and facilitates optimised data-driven decision-making for more effective flood prevention and response.
ManholeMetrics has received support from Yorkshire Water, Thames Water, and National Highways. This support not only serves as a testament to the credibility of ManholeMetrics' technology, but also propels the company closer to achieving its ambitious goal of ending flooding.

Company values
- Learn - in the ever-evolving tech world, the ground shifts under our feet and we must not be afraid to evaluate new ways of working, explore unchartered territory and develop new skills, without fear of failure, setbacks or judgement and strive to create a culture in which such learning is not just supported but encouraged, and that we can own and learn from our mistakes and both give and receive feedback
- Drive - we must show a clear passion for what we do and why we do it and the role it plays in our ultimate objective - ending flooding. This was the impetus behind our creation and is what motivates us to continue to innovate and push the boundaries of the possible
- Deliver - we must follow through on our commitments to our clients and colleagues, providing outcomes that make efficient use of the resources at our disposal, and at times work in an agile manner, flexing between self-led and collaborative working styles in response to our dynamically changing start-up environment
