You will be a key contributor to the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of customer environments, helping our client grow its cloud and infrastructure service offerings.

This role offers a pathway to specialise further into solutions architecture or technical sales leadership over time.

Ideal experience -

Strong hands-on experience with VMware vSphere, vCenter, and related VMware technologies.
Strong hands-on experience with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platforms.
Understanding of infrastructure sizing, HA design, backup/DR strategies, and performance tuning.
Good knowledge of hybrid cloud integrations and private cloud designs.
Customer-facing skills with the ability to translate technical requirements into business outcomes.
Experience with Modern Workplace technologies and solutions such as M365, Google Workspace, MS Intune, MDM Tools.
Experience with Azure and/or AWS environments (VM provisioning, storage, networking, IAM, cost control).
Scripting and automation knowledge (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Ansible).
Experience with backup solutions (e.g., Veeam, Carbonite
Understanding of security principles related to infrastructure and cloud services.
Familiarity with enterprise storage technologies (SAN, NAS, HCI).
Exposure to containerisation technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, Tanzu, Docker) would be advantageous.
Relevant certifications (e.g., VCP, NCP, Azure Administrator Associate, AWS Solutions Architect Associate).This role is ideal for someone passionate about infrastructure and cloud technologies who enjoys the blend of technical consulting and project delivery. You will be joining a fresh, vibrant, and ambitious team, with opportunities to further grow your career in cloud architecture, presales leadership, or technical consultancy.

Quantum-Enhanced AI at the Edge: The Future of Decentralised Intelligence

As the modern world pushes towards instant data processing and real-time analytics, edge computing has emerged as a compelling solution. Instead of funnelling every piece of data to centralised data centres or the cloud, edge computing brings computation closer to the data source—reducing latency, lowering bandwidth costs, and enabling on-the-spot decision-making. From IoT sensors in smart cities to autonomous vehicles and remote industrial sites, the edge has quickly become a linchpin of digital transformation. Simultaneously, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown explosive growth, driving breakthroughs in natural language processing, computer vision, and advanced analytics. Cloud-based AI solutions have served organisations well, but in scenarios demanding ultra-low latency or local autonomy, the cloud’s round-trip time becomes a bottleneck. Hence, edge AI—embedding AI models at or near the point of data collection—promises a new wave of hyper-responsive applications and decentralised intelligence. Yet, as we continue pushing the boundaries of data volume, complexity, and speed, even advanced edge solutions sometimes struggle with the exponential computational requirements of AI. This is where quantum computing enters the picture, potentially offering new methods to tackle intractable problems in optimisation, high-dimensional data analysis, and machine learning. While quantum hardware remains in its early stages, the prospect of integrating quantum algorithms into AI workflows at the edge is generating significant excitement. In this article, we’ll explore: The current state and challenges of edge computing. A concise overview of quantum computing and why it matters. The concept of quantum-enhanced AI—especially in distributed or decentralised environments. Potential real-world applications at the intersection of quantum, AI, and edge computing. Key job roles and skill sets emerging in this new frontier. Considerations around security, ethics, and hardware constraints as we move towards quantum solutions at the edge. If you’re a professional in edge computing, an AI enthusiast, or simply curious about what the future of decentralised tech might look like, read on. The fusion of quantum computing and AI at the network edge could redefine how we collect, process, and learn from data in real time.

Edge Computing Jobs at Newly Funded UK Start-ups: Q3 2025 Investment Tracker

Edge computing has emerged as a revolutionary paradigm for processing data closer to where it’s generated—think IoT devices, sensors in remote locations, autonomous vehicles, and more. By reducing latency and bandwidth usage, edge computing enables real-time insights and responsive applications. In the UK, a growing ecosystem of innovators is capitalising on edge technology, buoyed by increased venture capital, academic prowess, and government-backed programmes that stimulate tech development. In this Q3 2025 Investment Tracker, we’ll explore newly funded UK start-ups blazing a trail in edge computing. We’ll also highlight the wealth of job opportunities these investments create for software engineers, DevOps specialists, data scientists, and other tech professionals looking to carve out a career at the cutting edge—pun fully intended.

Portfolio Projects That Get You Hired for Edge Computing Jobs (With Real GitHub Examples)

Edge computing is transforming how data is collected, processed, and acted upon—often in real time and close to where data is generated. From Internet of Things (IoT) devices to 5G networks and industrial automation, edge computing unlocks new possibilities for low-latency analytics, intelligent decision-making, and resource optimisation. With the proliferation of edge devices and the need for distributed computing architectures, demand for skilled edge computing professionals continues to rise. If you want to stand out in this exciting field, you need more than a great CV: you need a well-curated portfolio demonstrating your hands-on capabilities. This guide will show you how to build that portfolio, including: Why a dedicated edge computing portfolio is crucial. How to choose projects aligned with your target edge roles. Real GitHub examples that illustrate best practices. Actionable project ideas for edge deployments and data processing.
