Senior Java/Kotlin Developer (Research and Development)

You will be contributing to the ongoing development and evolution of a next-generation industrial data visualization platform created by a leading global technology company. This long-term initiative supports continuous innovation in how high-frequency sensor data from industrial assets—such as gas turbines—is monitored, analyzed, and visualized in real time.

Unlike traditional BI tools, this solution is purpose-built for live visualization of big data, offering secure, browser-based access to personalized dashboards and diagnostics tools. It is actively used across multiple international locations and supports applications in testing, engineering, service, and security.

The development team is internationally distributed, bringing together experts in software engineering and data analytics in a collaborative, cross-cultural environment.

Key capabilities of the platform include:

In addition to its core capabilities, the platform is also being enhanced with AI-powered features, including the use of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) to support advanced analysis of multi-modal data, further expanding its potential across industrial domains.

This role is an opportunity for a senior engineer who is enthusiastic about developing of applications in such areas as industrial monitoring and analytics, satellite and drone images processing, power grids optimization, leak detection in the pipelines, and many others. The business demands new ways of data processing, analysis and visualization, as well as performance optimization and process management based on cutting-edge technologies in web, big data and streaming.
