We need 2-8 years proficiency working in a commercial Software Engineering role/team using either C#, C++ or Python. Ideally you'll have worked with Vue/Django, JavaScript/Typescript.

You should have Distributed Computing experience, ideally in an AWS environment and working with Cloud Architecture to apply for this role. this will be supported by a mix of Kubernetes cluster experience, PostgreSQL and Linux platform background.

You'll have a strong knowledge of software design patterns and modern engineering principles and clear communication/interpersonal skills are a must for working closely with internal teams. Experience to help guide the team and confidently push back when needed is essential.

Experience in a Mechanical Engineering environment will stand out with some exposure to Computional Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

What you'll get in return
The company offers 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, flexible working hours, a pension with a 9% employer contribution, private healthcare covering dental & health screening. There are company share options and a huge collection of local discount schemes including gym membership and there is parking on site.

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

Where to advertise edge computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach embedded, IoT, 5G MEC and edge AI engineering talent. 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.

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the IoT, 5G and edge AI hiring trends shaping UK edge computing careers over the next three years. Edge computing is quietly becoming one of the most consequential technology shifts of the decade — and the jobs market is starting to reflect that. As the limitations of centralised cloud infrastructure become apparent across industries that require real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and data sovereignty, the demand for professionals who can design, build, and manage computing at the edge has moved from niche to mainstream. But the edge computing jobs market of 2026 is not yet the mature, well-defined landscape that cloud computing has become. It is still forming. New architectures are emerging, standards are being established, and the range of industries deploying edge infrastructure is expanding rapidly — from manufacturing and telecommunications to healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities. That creates a particular kind of opportunity for job seekers: the chance to build deep expertise in a discipline that is growing faster than the talent pipeline serving it. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where edge computing is heading — which use cases are driving commercial deployment, which technologies are defining the architecture of distributed systems, and how the skills required to work at the edge differ meaningfully from those that served professionals well in centralised cloud environments. This article breaks down what the UK edge computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
