Job Description Contract Software Lead Architect (IoT / Smart Systems)

6-month contract | Outside IR35 | Hybrid (UK)

Edison Smart is hiring on behalf of a long-established technology organisation that is investing in the next phase of its software and platform architecture.

This role sits at a senior level within the architecture function and will play a key part in defining how complex, connected systems are designed, secured, and scaled going forward. The successful contractor will have genuine influence over technical direction, not just delivery.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of high-level software architecture across connected platforms, working closely with engineers, architects, and product stakeholders to translate strategic intent into practical, buildable solutions.

The environment suits someone who enjoys:

Modernising and reshaping existing architectures
Working across IoT platforms, integrations, and distributed systems
Operating hands-on while still thinking at system and roadmap level

Sector-specific experience (e.g. lighting or hardware) is not essential — strong architectural judgement and communication area.
