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.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
