Job Description
Senior Software Engineer – Embedded & Edge Systems
Location: Warrington (4 days per week on-site)
Salary: Up to £65,000 + benefits
A rare opportunity to take technical ownership of a cutting-edge system with real-world impact.
A well-funded, early-stage technology company developing sensor solutions for the utilities industry are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the evolution of their edge and embedded software systems. Their technology is designed to help reduce waste and improve the integrity of critical infrastructure. Following successful trials and with commercial deployment imminent, they are seeking an experienced software engineer to lead on software architectural decision making and execution.
This is not a conventional embedded role. You’ll work at the intersection of real-time sensor data, Linux systems, distributed acoustic sensing, and IoT security—defining architecture, shaping implementation choices, and delivering performance improvements to a system that is already operational but has significant room for refinement.
The opportunity:
* Take responsibility for software running on embedded Linux hardware (Jetson Orin AGX)
* Review, debug, and evolve the existing codebase—mostly Python at present—with freedom to rework using the most appropriate tools (e.g. C++, Rust, Go)
* Collaborate with hardware, ML, and research teams to implement DAS algorithms and interface with Redis, PostgreSQL, RS485, and Modbus/MQTT
* Contribute to DevOps and CI infrastructure (Ansible, GitHub) and support ongoing work towards CIS Server Level 1 certification
* Report into the Engineering Director, working closely with the CTO on architecture, technical decision-making, and roadmap development
What we’re looking for:
* 5–10 years’ experience in software engineering across embedded or edge environments
* Strong Linux systems knowledge (Ubuntu), scripting (Bash), and deployment tools (Ansible, CI/CD)
* Proficiency in at least one systems programming language (Python, C++, Rust, Go, etc.)
* Practical, problem-solving mindset—comfortable making trade-offs and prioritising product impact
* Familiarity with secure development practices, unit testing, and compliance considerations is beneficial
Why apply?
* Technical ownership – genuine influence over how the product evolves
* Breadth of scope – engage with everything from DAS algorithms and high-speed data handling to security and deployment
* Meaningful work – contribute to a solution that addresses real-world environmental challenges
* Strong financial backing – private investment provides long-term runway
* Supportive team culture – collaborative environment with external expert input when needed
This role offers variety, responsibility, and the chance to help shape a genuinely innovative product from the inside. If you’re looking for autonomy in a modern, technically engaging environment - click apply and let's set up a callBefore You Apply
