Field Technician
Up to £50k (depending on experience)

Be part of the team building the UK's first distributed battery-swap network for electric mopeds. My client is at the very start of something big, and are looking for a hands-on technical operator who loves making physical tech work in the real world.
If you're someone who can bring hardware online, tinker with IoT systems, and solve problems fast out in the field, this is your opportunity to help shape the backbone of a brand-new clean-mobility network in London.

About the Role

You'll be the go-to technical expert responsible for getting our battery-swap lockers operational, stable, and talking to the network. Your work will have a direct impact on reliability for our first riders and the next phases of product development.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Installing, configuring, and testing battery-swap lockers and supporting electrical infrastructure across London.
Programming, issuing, and managing NFC cards for riders and partners (ahead of our transition to a fully app-based system).
Troubleshooting software, connectivity, and hardware issues (working with suppliers such as VMOTO and Zenion).
Working closely with electricians, manufacturers, and software partners to bring new sites online.
Creating simple documentation, checklists, and processes to support future rollout teams.
Supporting the shift from NFC-enabled access to a digital / payments-based user system.
Feeding back insights from the field to continuously improve system reliability, usability, and data capture. About You

You're a natural tinkerer who loves diagnosing issues and making physical tech behave. You're curious, pragmatic, and unafraid to get your hands dirty. You thrive in environments where no two days look the same and where your contribution genuinely shapes the product.

Hands-on technical experience with hardware, IoT devices, EV charging systems, or similar.
Basic understanding of low-voltage electrical systems (or ability to work safely alongside qualified electricians).
Familiarity with NFC/RFID systems, access control technologies, or embedded software.
Practical, resourceful mindset — comfortable working in warehouses, workshops, and outdoor field environments.
A start-up attitude: independent, fast-moving, and focused on outcomes. Requirements:

Ability to ride an electric moped (helps with rapid site visits and gives you real insight into the rider experience). Bonus points for:

Experience with payment gateways, APIs, or connected mobility platforms.
Background in mobility, micromobility, or last-mile delivery environments. Why Join Them?

Help build a first-of-its-kind EV infrastructure network in the UK.
Work directly with founders on technology that will scale rapidly.
Be part of a mission to make urban mobility cleaner, faster, and more accessible.
Huge room for growth as we expand city-wide and beyond. Interested? Here are your three options

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.

The Skills Gap in Edge Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Edge computing is rapidly moving from niche concept to critical infrastructure. As organisations deploy connected devices, sensors, autonomous systems and real-time analytics, processing data closer to where it is generated has become essential. From smart cities and manufacturing to healthcare, transport, defence and telecommunications, edge computing underpins systems where latency, reliability and resilience matter. Demand for edge computing skills across the UK is rising steadily — yet employers consistently report difficulty finding candidates who are genuinely job-ready. Despite growing interest and academic coverage, universities are not fully preparing graduates for real edge computing jobs. This article explores the edge computing skills gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in edge computing.
