Keystone Recruitment Partners are looking for a highly skilled Cloud Engineer to lead our client's migration from AWS WAF to Cloudflare and to design, deploy, and manage our edge security and Zero Trust environment. This role will take ownership of Cloudflare architecture, security posture, and integration with our AWS infrastructure. This is a fully remote and outside IR35 contract with an initial 3 month engagement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive the full migration from AWS WAF to Cloudflare WAF, including rule translation, optimisation, testing, and rollout.

  • Configure and maintain Cloudflare WAF policies, covering managed rules, custom rules, bot mitigation, and rate‑limiting.

  • Deploy and manage Cloudflare Zero Trust and Warp, enabling secure, identity‑based remote access for users and services.

  • Set up and optimise Cloudflare DNS, load balancing, and traffic steering to ensure resilient, high‑performance routing.

  • Integrate Cloudflare services with AWS environments, including ALB, CloudFront, Route 53, and cloud‑native workloads.

  • Implement and enforce edge security controls, including DDoS protection, TLS configuration, and continuous monitoring.

  • Diagnose and resolve traffic, performance, and edge‑security issues across Cloudflare and AWS.

  • Support Infrastructure‑as‑Code automation, ideally using Terraform, for consistent and scalable deployments.

    Required Experience

  • Extensive hands‑on experience with Cloudflare WAF, Zero Trust, and Warp, ideally in enterprise or high‑traffic environments.

  • Demonstrated experience migrating from AWS WAF to Cloudflare, with strong understanding of rule behaviour and tuning.

  • Deep technical knowledge of DNS, TLS, routing, reverse proxies, and CDN architectures.

  • Strong AWS background, especially with ALB, CloudFront, Route 53, and security‑related services.

  • Experience with Terraform or similar IaC tools is preferred.

  • Excellent troubleshooting skills across networking, performance, and security layers.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.
