Integration & Test Engineer (Infrastructure)

My client is a principal organisation in the defence sector and successful applicants will have to pass Developed Vetting (DV) Security Clearance to undertake the role. We are seeking Integration & Test Engineers with strong infrastructure engineering experience to join a growing team working on mission-critical systems. The role is ideally suited individuals who enjoy integrating advanced technologies, ensuring reliability, and supporting secure, high-performance environments.
You will work on integrating, testing, and securing a range of systems and applications, with a focus on designing, building, and maintaining scalable and reliable infrastructure. The position involves collaboration within a multi-disciplinary team and requires knowledge of Windows and Linux systems, DevSecOps practices, and modern infrastructure engineering tools such as cloud services, containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and performance optimisation.
Key responsibilities include planning and running test and integration activities, developing automated test frameworks within CI/CD pipelines, debugging issues across the full technology stack, supporting the integration of large-scale solutions, and deploying systems across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
Required experience includes hands-on involvement in test and integration work, operating within Agile and DevSecOps environments, working with Scrum, and using tools such as Jira, Confluence, Git, and GitLab. You should have experience developing and executing test plans, supporting formal product acceptance, building CI/CD pipelines, using automated testing frameworks, analysing automated test results, and working with Blue/Green deployment approaches. Experience debugging complex software systems and working with testing environments is also essential. Certifications such as ISTQB Foundation or Agile Testing qualifications are beneficial.
Desired skills include experience maturing automated CI/CD pipelines for cloud deployments, using infrastructure-as-code for cloud-based services, working with AWS technologies such as EC2, EKS, Fargate, IAM, S3 and Lambda, using the AWS SDK to automate tasks, integrating hybrid-cloud applications, and using services such as CloudTrail for diagnostics.
If you are passionate about Integration & Test and have a strong background in Infrastructure Engineering, we would welcome your application.
We are committed to equal opportunities and an inclusive recruitment process. Adjustments can be provided upon request for any stage of the application or interview process

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.
