IOT Software Engineer – Edinburgh

Are you a software engineer with a passion for connecting embedded systems to the cloud? This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-moving, R&D-driven business building next-generation IoT solutions with real-world impact across multiple global industries.

I’m recruiting for a high-growth engineering organisation working on a complex data ecosystem, involving embedded devices, network connectivity, and scalable cloud-based software. You'll play a critical role in taking data from edge devices to the cloud and onward to end users through APIs or graphical interfaces.

This is a hands-on role that spans cloud architecture, Python development, embedded integration, and light GUI work. You’ll work alongside talented engineers across software, hardware, and systems to bring reliable and innovative technology to life.

Key Responsibilities for the IOT Software Engineer job:

  • Build and maintain robust Python-based services on Azure

  • Integrate edge devices with network infrastructure (cellular, satellite, etc.)

  • Maintain and support embedded C components on hardware platforms

  • Develop simple Windows-based GUI tools (preferably in Qt for Python)

  • Create scalable APIs and interfaces for end users and third-party systems

  • Ensure system performance through automated testing and monitoring

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams in a structured Agile environment

    Ideal Experience for the IOT Software Engineer job:

  • Strong Python development in production environments

  • Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services

  • Basic to moderate embedded C experience

  • Familiarity with GUI frameworks (Qt/PyQt or similar)

  • Experience with version control (Git), testing, and CI/CD pipelines

  • Understanding of system reliability and data integrity in IoT pipelines

  • Comfortable working across software, firmware, and cloud

    This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of embedded systems and cloud software within a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering team. You'll gain real ownership of projects, enjoy hybrid flexibility, and work on technology that has a tangible impact across multiple industries.

How to Find Hidden Edge Computing Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & More

Edge computing is reshaping the way data is processed and delivered across industries—from real-time IoT in manufacturing to low-latency systems in healthcare, defence, and smart cities. With its growing influence, demand for UK-based edge computing professionals is rising rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers don’t realise: many edge computing jobs aren’t listed on public job boards. Instead, they’re shared through private networks, CPD events, special interest groups, and technical communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access these hidden job opportunities by engaging with professional bodies like the BCS, IET, TechUK, and niche edge computing communities. We’ll explore how to use directories, events, and collaborative ecosystems to position yourself at the front of the queue—before roles even go live.

How to Get a Better Edge Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from an edge computing role can feel like a serious setback—especially in a field as specialised and rapidly evolving as distributed computing. But edge computing remains a key growth area in the UK tech economy, with applications in autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, smart cities, telecoms, and defence. Whether you’re a cloud-edge integration engineer, embedded systems developer, IoT specialist, or network architect, there are real opportunities to reposition your career after redundancy. This guide offers a practical UK-focused plan to help you relaunch your career with confidence.

Edge Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads edge‑computing professionals today Ask an Edge Software Engineer debugging container images on a factory floor, an IoT Solutions Architect jostling latency and security, or a DevOps Lead deploying micro‑VMs on 5G towers: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes faster than the firmware you flashed last sprint. Retail chains move inferencing to store servers, autonomous vehicle start‑ups hoard FPGA talent, telcos monetise network slices, & every new use‑case nudges salary bands. A PDF survey printed in 2024 is already fossilised—missing the GPU shortages, fresh EU edge‑security directives, and the UK government’s Zero‑Carbon Edge computing grants that landed this spring. To give professionals an up‑to‑date benchmark, EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority, and you’ll get a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces driving pay higher, and lays out five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.
