Mobile Software Engineer (IoT & Smart Home)

• Location: Ottawa, ON (Hybrid)
• Term: 6-Month Contract (Potential for Permanent)

Help Us Build the Future of Climate Comfort

At SmartCocoon, we aren’t just building another app; we’re changing how people experience their homes. Our Smart Register Booster Fans use intelligent algorithms to solve the age-old problem of "too hot" or "too cold" rooms, all while making HVAC systems more efficient.

We are a lean, agile team where every line of code you write directly impacts the comfort and energy footprints of our users. If you’re looking for a role where your voice is heard and your work is visible, you belong here.

The Opportunity

As our Mobile Software Engineer, you will be a core part of our development lifecycle. You won’t just be "fixing bugs"—you’ll be designing, prototyping, and shipping features that bridge the gap between hardware and software.

What you’ll do:

• Own the Experience: Support features from initial design through shipping and post-release maintenance.
• Collaborate: Work closely with product and design teams to turn complex IoT challenges into seamless user experiences.
• Work Smarter: Leverage modern AI tools to accelerate development, improve code quality, and automate repetitive tasks.
• Build the Stack: Gain hands-on experience across our entire tech stack, from mobile interfaces to backend logic.

What You Bring

• Mobile Expertise: Proficiency in React Native (preferred), Native Android/iOS, or Flutter.
• Design Eye: A strong grasp of mobile UI/UX best practices—you know exactly what a "great" app feels like.
• AI-Fluent: Strong experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or LLM-based prompting) to write cleaner code and solve problems faster.
• Full-Stack Curious: Experience with modern web frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, or Laravel.
• Ownership Mentality: You take initiative and take pride in shipping high-quality, reliable software.

Bonus Points for:

• IoT Knowledge: Familiarity with networking protocols (MQTT, WiFi, Bluetooth, TLS).
• DevOps Skills: Experience with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Bitbucket Pipelines) or Docker.
• Quality First: A background in Test Driven Development (TDD).

Work Environment & Culture

We believe in Hybrid Harmony. We offer the flexibility of remote work combined with intentional in-person collaboration at our Ottawa office. This model ensures we stay connected as a team while respecting your work-life balance.
