Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer Salary: Up to 85,000 plus equity Location: Fully remote, UK wide (company events in Cheshire) This is not one of those roles where you inherit a dusty codebase and a twelve month backlog of bug tickets. It's a genuinely novel piece of engineering in one of the most consequential sectors in the country, and our client is after a proper seasoned firmware engineer to take the technical lead on the device side. The opportunity Our client builds intelligent connected hardware for the energy sector: devices at the very edge of the grid that talk to all manner of third party equipment over multiple radios and wired protocols, reporting securely back to the cloud. The engineering team is deliberately small and exceptionally senior, and they've invested heavily in AI driven development pipelines to accelerate the build. They don't want an army; they want a handful of very capable engineers who can steer those tools intelligently and bring the deep hardware understanding no model can replace. The technology ESP32 handling comms: WiFi and BLE now, Thread next, multi radio beyond that Multiple RP2040 class microcontrollers running the bulk of the application firmware A dedicated processor acting as security firewall and orchestrator STM32 class parts, FreeRTOS, embedded C with some C++ SPI and UART between processors, MQTT with mutual TLS to the cloud, Modbus to third party kit A substantial codebase, already around 300,000 lines The role You'll lead the build out of the device firmware, taking ownership of the meaty, low level problems that sort the seasoned from the merely enthusiastic: SPI bus behaviour, timing across processors, tight memory footprints, radio coexistence and field reliability. You'll set standards, mentor the wider team and have a real say in where the platform goes next. What you'll bring Strong embedded C on resource constrained microcontrollers FreeRTOS or comparable RTOS experience Real depth in hardware facing debugging with scopes and logic analysers Wireless connected device experience; ESP32, BLE, WiFi or Thread MQTT, TLS and secure device to cloud communication An open mind towards AI assisted development Smart energy, metering, IoT gateway or EV charging background would be a bonus Where and how Fully remote, work from anywhere in the UK. The team meets periodically in Cheshire for company events and the odd bit of lab work. The package 80,000 to 85,000 basic plus genuine equity, coming in at a point where your contribution properly shapes the product. Roles combining novel architecture, real ownership, top end pay, equity and full remote working don't hang about. If tracking down an intermittent bus fault gives you a quiet thrill, I'd very much like to hear from you.

Platform Engineer GCP / AWS Docker & Kubernetes Terraform Linux Stockport - Hybrid working (2 days per week onsite) Up to 70,000 + 10,000 On-Call Allowance + Benefits A well-established tech company in Stockport is looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join their team. They've recently completed a large-scale migration from their traditional data centre into Google Cloud Platform and are now looking for someone to help them improve, maintain and develop their cloud infrastructure. You'll be joining a small and experienced Platform team, working closely with their Software Engineers to make sure their systems are secure, reliable and performing well. This is a genuinely hands-on role, with a good mixture of modern cloud technologies alongside traditional infrastructure and troubleshooting. They're not looking for someone to come in and architect an entirely new cloud platform from scratch. The migration to GCP has already happened, so the focus now is on incremental improvements - improving automation, monitoring and reliability, refactoring where necessary and making the platform easier for their development teams to work with. They work with a modern infrastructure stack including GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, FluxCD and GitHub, alongside a predominantly Linux-based environment. You'll ideally have experience with most of the following: Strong Linux infrastructure and troubleshooting skills Docker and containerised environments Kubernetes Terraform / Infrastructure as Code Monitoring, logging and troubleshooting production systems Cloud platforms - ideally GCP or AWS CI/CD and deployment tooling Previous GCP experience would obviously be useful, but it isn't essential. They're very open to someone coming from a strong AWS background who understands cloud infrastructure and has solid experience with Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform. More than anything, they're looking for someone who understands the technologies they work with rather than simply having exposure to them. You should enjoy troubleshooting problems, digging through logs and understanding why something isn't working. The company has a really good culture and people tend to stick around for a long time. They're independently owned, have a relatively small technology team and have created a collaborative environment where the Platform and Software teams work closely together. They've also recently purchased their own office in central Stockport, which is currently being renovated into a new purpose-built space for the team. They support hybrid working, with everyone getting together in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. There is also the opportunity to join their paid on-call rota once you're comfortable with the environment. This adds around 10,000 per year to the package, alongside additional days off. In return, they can offer: Salary up to 70,000 Circa 10,000 additional on-call allowance 35-hour working week Flexible working around core hours Hybrid working - 2 days per week in Stockport 25 days holiday + bank holidays Additional holiday for those participating in on-call Matched pension up to 5% Private healthcare / healthcare cash plan Regular team lunches, socials and company events This would be a great opportunity for an experienced Platform, DevOps, Cloud or Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys being hands-on and wants to work across modern cloud technologies without losing the troubleshooting and infrastructure side of the job. Interested? Apply now or get in touch for more information - even if you don't have a CV ready, we're happy to chat.
