Job Specifications
About Us:
Bauer Media Outdoor is a leader in the advertising world, operating across 12 markets.
Our mission is to Create tech that makes a difference, empower teams, delight customers, and shape the media world of tomorrow. We are reshaping the media landscape through data-driven innovation and robust, scalable platforms.
Technology sits at the heart of our organisation. We value transparency, accountability, and outcomes over theatre.
Our ambition is to be the industry-leading technology team, known for customer-centric, reliable, fast, flexible, and innovative solutions.
About the role:
We're hiring a Senior IoT Engineer to join our Networks team.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on the connectivity and device platform that powers our digital screen network across Europe.
Our estate includes thousands of connected devices deployed in real-world environments, including digital displays, edge compute nodes, and telemetry systems. Ensuring these devices remain securely connected, observable, and remotely manageable is critical to how our platform operates.
You will work across IoT connectivity, edge networking, device lifecycle management, and cloud integration, helping ensure that our physical infrastructure operates reliably at scale.
Alongside day-to-day engineering and operations, you will play a key role in modernising how connected devices are deployed, monitored, and managed across the platform through automation and modern engineering practices.
This role is not simply about maintaining infrastructure.
You will be expected to continuously improve how our connected device ecosystem operates.
What Success Looks Like
You will make a meaningful impact by:
Maintaining high device connectivity and uptime across the IoT estate, ensuring thousands of deployed screens remain reliably connected across cellular, edge, and cloud infrastructure
Reducing device connectivity incidents and time to resolution, improving how quickly faults are detected, diagnosed, and resolved across the platform
Increasing visibility into device health and connectivity, giving engineering teams clear telemetry and monitoring across thousands of endpoints in production
Reducing manual operational effort through automation, enabling devices to be provisioned, configured, and managed consistently at scale
Improving the resilience and stability of the connected device platform, ensuring connectivity remains reliable even in complex real world deployment environments
Strengthening the security posture of the device ecosystem, ensuring endpoints connect safely into enterprise and cloud environments
What you'll be doing:
Design and operate the connectivity layer that links thousands of edge devices and digital screens to cloud platforms across multiple European markets
Manage secure device connectivity including 4G and 5G modems, SIM lifecycle management, and APN configuration
Build and maintain the device telemetry and messaging layer using protocols such as MQTT, HTTP, or AMQP
Automate device provisioning and lifecycle management using Python, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code tooling
Improve device observability and monitoring across the fleet, enabling faster detection and resolution of connectivity issues
Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, and security teams to ensure the reliability and security of the connected device ecosystem
Contribute to the ongoing evolution of our edge and connected infrastructure platform
What we're looking for:
IoT & Edge Systems
Experience working with large scale IoT or connected device environments.
Strong understanding of IoT communication protocols such as MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS, CoAP, or AMQP.
Experience working with IoT gateways, edge devices, or distributed device fleets.
Understanding of device lifecycle management, including provisioning, firmware updates, remote management, and telemetry.
Experience working with Linux-based edge systems or embedded environments.
Connectivity & Networking
Strong understanding of TCP/IP networking fundamentals, including DNS, DHCP, routing, switching, cyber security and VPN technologies.
Strong understanding of wireless technologies from BLE (WPAN) to LoRA (LPWAN) to NB-IOT (Cellular)., the differences, constraints and use cases.
Experience in troubleshooting end-to-end connectivity across distributed device fleets or remote infrastructure.
Hands on experience working with cellular connectivity technologies such as 4G and 5G, including SIM lifecycle management and APN configuration.
Cloud, Data & Observability
Experience integrating device data and telemetry into cloud platforms or APIs.
Hands-on experience working with Azure networking or cloud connectivity.
Experience working with monitoring and observability platforms such as Grafana, Zabbix, Icinga, or similar telemetry systems.
Security & Engineering Approach
Strong understanding of secure device connectivity and IoT security principles.
Familiarity with security frameworks
