About MONITORED AI

We are looking for a Senior Web UI Developer / Front-End Engineer for our product MONITORED AI. OPT/NET BV is a scaleup based in the Netherlands.

OPT/NET BV needs motivated and talented software developers who have the ambition to build advanced software products and contribute to making geospatial analytics, IoT sensor data processing, and AI-driven monitoring systems more intelligent, reliable, and scalable.

MONITORED AI is a Geospatial + IoT sensory Data Fusion & Analytics platform. It combines the analysis of large volumes of geospatial data with in-situ sensor data, giving users a holistic and insightful dashboard overview of monitored assets, environments, and operational areas. MONITORED AI can support use cases such as smart agriculture, sustainable mining, maritime monitoring, environmental monitoring, and other domains where Earth observation data, sensor data, and AI-based analytics need to be combined into a practical decision-support platform. For example, MONITORED AI can help monitor arable farmland by combining geospatial data with in-situ sensor data. In maritime monitoring, it can integrate Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite imagery and Automatic Identification System data to help detect dark vessels and suspicious behavior at sea.

The Web UI is a critical part of MONITORED AI. It allows users to interact with complex geospatial and sensor-based datasets, inspect AI-generated results, explore dashboards, analyze events and anomalies, and understand monitored areas through high-performance charts, maps, and interactive visual interfaces. We are looking for a senior professional who can design and implement advanced, high-performance web interfaces for complex technical, analytical, and geospatial applications.

We are looking for an independent, self-motivated professional who wants to learn, take ownership, and does not require constant routine supervision. We need a “fire-and-forget” specialist who understands team and project priorities, can work with complex requirements, and can deliver reliable results in a product development environment. The ideal candidate is not only a front-end developer, but also an engineer who is interested in complex visualization, geospatial analytics, IoT sensor data, AI-driven monitoring systems, and user interfaces for advanced technical products.
