Senior Software Developer – Node.js / AWS / React – London (Hybrid, 3 days onsite)
Are you the kind of engineer who enjoys taking something fast-and-scrappy and turning it into something scalable, elegant, and genuinely robust?
This is a chance to join a small, but ambitious tech-for-good / IoT startup based in the London City Centre that’s building products to make sense of massive data streams. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team (around ten people total, five engineers), working on a genuinely greenfield platform with a modern stack and zero legacy
The focus now is on maturing the codebase – re-architecting, refactoring, testing, and scaling. You’ll play a key role in helping the team evolve from early-stage speed to long-term stability, with the freedom to influence both product direction and engineering quality
What you’ll be doing:

  • Building and scaling a Node.js application that sits at the core of the product
  • Designing and implementing new features for different sectors and use cases
  • Helping drive improvements in code quality, architecture, and testing practices
  • Working closely with product and engineering to prioritise, shape, and deliver features
  • Introducing best practices and guiding a shift towards cleaner, more maintainable code
    What we’re looking for:
  • Strong hands-on experience with Node.js
  • Comfortable working across or picking up other tech as needed – ie AWS, React etc (If you have experience with AWS & React, that is a bonus)
  • Enthusiasm for writing clean, tested, production-ready code
  • Experience (or interest) in data-heavy systems, IoT, or connected devices
    If you’re an engineer who likes solving real problems, shaping a product, and being part of something early, please apply and have a further conversation

Edge Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
