Student IoT Automation & Operations Engineer

About Climify Climify is a Danish deep-tech company working with digital retrofit of existing buildings. We develop software-driven solutions that connect sensors, building systems, and user feedback to improve indoor climate, energy efficiency, and day-to-day building operation. By adding a digital layer on top of existing buildings, we enable continuous monitoring, data-driven control, and transparent performance insights. This supports better operational decisions today and creates a solid basis for future renovation and optimization efforts. As a student at Climify, you will work with real buildings and real systems, contributing to solutions that are already deployed and used by building owners, operators, and occupants. The role We are looking for a curious, well-rounded student engineer interested in software development, IoT, automation, cloud technologies, and data-driven systems. You’ll get hands-on experience across the full IoT and software pipeline - from hardware and networking, through data ingestion and processing, to cloud services, APIs, control logic, and visualization. You will work closely with senior engineers and researchers in a small, ambitious team and gain exposure to production systems used by municipalities, universities, and companies. What you’ll work on

• Test, onboard and install IoT hardware (sensors, meters, gateways, and actuators)
• Develop and maintaindata pipelines for sensor and actuator data
• Developsoftware and integrations for IoT and cloud-based applications
• Work with Node-RED, PostgreSQL / Timescale DB, APIs, and cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes / AKS)
• Contribute to the architecture of IoT infrastructures, including devices, gateways, networking, data ingestion, storage, APIs, and applications
• Contribute to the design and implementation of internal and external APIs and backend services
• Work with Docker, Kubernetes / AKS, and Microsoft Azure as part of developing and operating applications
• Support monitoring, debug, and improve operational stability of deployed systems
• Troubleshoot across different layers of the system, from IoT devices and networking to backend services and cloud applications

What you bring We’re looking for a solid technical foundation and the motivation to learn. We expect you to have

• Programming experience (e.g. Python)
• A basic understanding of software development, APIs, databases and data structures
• Fundamental networking knowledge (IP, DNS, basic protocols)
• A basic understanding of how applications and services communicate
• An interest in IoT systems, cloud applications, and software architecture
• The ability to write clean, readable, and maintainable code

Nice to have Experience in any of these areas is a plus, but not a requirement:

• PostgreSQL and/or Node-RED
• Backend and API development
• Time-series data, data analytics, or large-scale data processing
• Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud deployments
• Frontend experience
• Java, Spring Boot, Liquibase, JPA/Hibernate

Who you are

• A student at DTU or a similar technical university
• Curious and motivated to learn how real-world automation systems work end to end
• Interested in IoT, software, and data-driven control
• Interested in understanding how systems are architected, integrated, deployed, and operated - not just individual components
• Comfortable collaborating in a small team and taking ownership of tasks
• Not afraid to work across disciplines (hardware, software, cloud)

What you will get

• Flexible working hours that fit around your studies
• Hands-on experience with modern IoT, backend, and cloud technologies
• Exposure to real customers, buildings, and deployed systems
• A steep learning curve and close collaboration with experienced engineers
• A friendly, informal, and supportive startup culture
• The opportunity to make a real impact in a growing company
