Job description

Help build connected technology that is changing the way farmers manage livestock

What if the IoT systems you engineered didn't just live in the cloud or a lab, but operated out in the real world?

At eShepherd, we're building connected technology for agriculture, and we're looking for an IoT Engineer to help develop the systems that connect devices, data and applications.

You’ll work across the full IoT ecosystem, from device connectivity and data collection through to cloud services and APIs, helping us build secure, scalable and reliable solutions.

If you enjoy solving complicated technical problems, working across hardware and software, and seeing technology you've helped create come to life, this could be a brilliant next move.

Why this role?

This isn't an IoT role where you'll work on one small piece of a much bigger system.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across device connectivity, embedded technology, cloud platforms, APIs, data processing, security and system reliability, collaborating with engineering and product teams to create connected solutions from concept through to deployment.

You’ll also help investigate complex IoT problems, improve system performance and explore emerging technology that could strengthen future products.

What you'll be doing

Design and develop end-to-end IoT solutions connecting devices, data, cloud services and APIs
Work closely with hardware and software engineers to integrate IoT components into products
Build secure, scalable IoT architectures
Implement IoT communication protocols and standards
Develop data processing and analytics pipelines
Test, debug and troubleshoot complex IoT systems
Help improve reliability and performance
Evaluate new hardware, software and emerging IoT technologies
Contribute to technical documentation, code reviews and knowledge sharing.

What you'll bring

We’re looking for someone with proven IoT development experience who understands how the different layers of a connected product come together.

Ideally, You’ll Have

A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronics Engineering or a related discipline
Experience designing and developing IoT applications from concept through to deployment
Strong programming capability in languages such as Python, C, JavaScript or Bash
Knowledge of technologies and protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, LoRaWAN, cellular IoT and edge computing
Experience with AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
Strong Linux capability
Knowledge of networking, security protocols and data encryption
Experience with sensors, actuators, microcontrollers and embedded systems
Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills.

Experience with LoRa gateways, data analytics, machine learning or data visualisation would be an added bonus.
