Our client is a small business from Germany that specializes in building sensors that detect carbohydrates at oil drilling sites. They have a contract with a Norwegian oil drilling company to develop software that would analyze the readings from their sensor and notify operators if there is a potential leak. Core idea is to collect readings of multiple the sensor, apply statistical models to those readings and predict if there is a leak of oil or gas at the drilling site (which is hundreds km away from the shore, underneath the water). 

For the application Python was chosen as the primary language, since the modeling part is written in Python and there are no high load demands Python would be a good choice. We conducted a technical discovery phase - which resulted in the project plan and plan for implementation. We will be providing support with onboarding and sharing what we’ve learned so far.

Requirements:
- 5+ years of Python development (preferably backend or data engineering or IoT)
- Experience building REST API driven web applications (Flask, Django, etc.)
- Culture of writing well testes code (project requires rigorous testing) 
- Ability to work independently, provide technical leadership in the project.

Would be a plus:
- Experience with desktop applications development
- Experience building IoT data collection layer
- Experience with sqlite 
- Background in statistical modeling, working with prediction algorithms.
