Job Description:

Insight Global is seeking an IoT/Edge Software Engineer for a top federal technology client supporting the modernization of a mission-critical Navy radiation exposure management platform. This engineer will develop software that connects field-deployed devices and IoT gateways with secure cloud environments, with a focus on AWS Greengrass, Linux-based edge computing, BLE communication, MQTT, and AWS IoT Core. This is a strong opportunity for an engineer interested in building secure, resilient edge-to-cloud solutions supporting real-world Navy operations. Main Hotbook distinction: For the Backend role, target API/microservices + Python/Java + AWS profiles. For the IoT/Edge role, prioritize Greengrass + Linux + BLE/MQTT + IoT/edge experience. Those profiles may overlap, but they should not be sourced as the same engineer. Writing changes: I condensed the long SOW language into recruiter-friendly must-haves, pluses, and day-to-day bullets while preserving the technical differentiators. I also avoided inventing missing commercial details and flagged those as TBD.
