Experienced Python Developer – Cambridge / Hybrid – £70–80k + Share Options

Are you a Python Developer who thrives in an environment where you can take real ownership of your work and see its impact in the real world? We’re working with an award-winning Cambridge-based startup making global waves in the environmental tech space — and they’re growing.

You’ll join a small, friendly, and highly capable team, working at the heart of their platform, developing and scaling a core web application used across multiple continents. This is a business that combines smart IoT hardware with clever algorithms to solve real-world problems — and your code will play a key role in how they deliver that.

You’ll be given autonomy from day one, contributing to the direction of the product, working closely with stakeholders from across the business, and helping to refine priorities. There’s lots of variety, interesting challenges, and a chance to shape things technically as one of the early hires into the dev team.

What you’ll need:

Strong commercial experience with Python

Solid SQL skills (raw and/or ORM)

Experience working across the full software lifecycle

Ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment

Bonus experience (not essential):

HTML/JavaScript and modern web architectures

CI/CD (GitHub Actions ideally)

AWS – especially in relation to security and scalability

Automated testing (e.g. Selenium/WebDriver)

Agile practices

What’s on offer:

Salary to £80k

Employee share options

25 days holiday + bank holidays

Development budget & strong progression

Hybrid working (Cambridge HQ)

If you're looking for a role where you’ll be part of something meaningful, contribute to a growing platform, and work alongside genuinely good people, this is well worth a look.Experienced Python Developer – Cambridge / Hybrid – £70–80k + Share Options

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.
