Product-Focused Backend Engineer – Functional Programming & Distributed Systems
London (Hybrid) | £120,000–£160,000 + Equity

At Ncounter, we’re partnering with a cutting-edge AI company on a mission to redefine how professionals in highly regulated industries interact with complex, multi-modal data. Their platform empowers users to deploy custom no-code AI agents that produce verifiable outputs with full transparency - ensuring trust, compliance, and control remain central to every decision.

As a Backend Engineer, you’ll join a growing team working at the forefront of AI infrastructure. This isn’t just about clean code or strong delivery - it’s about ownership, product intuition, and building for scale. You’ll be part of a lean, high-calibre engineering function where every member contributes to planning, testing, analysis, and execution.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Building and evolving APIs that serve as the backbone for internal systems and customer-facing applications
Scaling the platform to support heavy, multi-tenant usage patterns and high-throughput AI workloads
Applying foundation models (GPT-4.1, Claude 4, Gemini 1.5 and successors) to real-world, multi-modal data challenges
Shipping to production daily in collaboration with Product and Design to solve real user problems
Playing an active role in shaping team goals, defining technical metrics, and prioritising outcomes over ticket-chasing

Your Background:
Hands-on experience with functional programming (Elixir is a plus, but other languages like Scala, Haskell, Clojure, Go, Node.js, or F# are welcome)
Proven track record of building and scaling distributed backend systems
Solid understanding of infrastructure-as-code and cloud orchestration (AWS, Terraform, Docker)
Familiarity with queue management, observability tooling, and shipping in fast-paced environments
Awareness of GenAI and prompt engineering, or a keen interest to develop expertise in this area
A self-starter attitude, with a strong sense of product ownership and a passion for solving end-user challenges

This is a unique opportunity to work on real-world applications of cutting-edge AI, contributing to a platform where engineering excellence and product thinking go hand-in-hand. If you're looking for a role with tangible impact and huge technical scope, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out today to start the conversation

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising edge computing jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.
