The first project that this position will work on is an embedded sensor that will send readings periodically to the cloud, and have the information accessible to certain users though a web page. what tools, languages, services and design patterns would you use to accomplish this?

we need PLC(Programmable Logic Units) attached to the sensors  and those sensors will take the signals/values  and transfer them to the cloud .In cloud we store that information and send that information to the web application where user is able to view

Explanation:

it looks like a SCADA system. we can integrate PLC with SCADA

or

for developing PLC we can use c or c++.it contain logic to transfer data to cloud

for cloud storage we can use Microsoft azure which is useful for data storage in sql servers

for web application we can use ASP.Net to interact with cloud and get data from there and display the results to the user on UI
