Dynamic Environment Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Entry‑level Edge DevOps Engineers earn $90k–$110k, mid‑level $120k–$150k, and senior roles $160k–$200k. IoT Solutions Architects at the senior level often command $170k–$210k, reflecting the blend of cloud, security, and hardware expertise required.

Core skills include Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and cloud‑edge integration (AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud IoT Core). Certifications such as CompTIA Security+, Certified Edge Platform Professional, and Certified IoT Security Practitioner validate expertise in OTA security, edge firmware, and secure data pipelines.

Many platform‑ and devops‑focused positions support full remote or hybrid models, while on‑site or field roles—such as edge data‑center maintenance, field deployment of autonomous systems, or 5G base‑station configuration—require periodic on‑site presence.

Typical progression moves from Edge Ops Engineer to Senior Edge Ops Engineer, then to Lead Edge Architect, followed by Platform Manager, and ultimately Director of Edge Engineering or VP of Edge Solutions.

Key trends include Edge AI and micro‑services at the edge, 5G Multi‑Access Edge Computing (MEC), OTA security frameworks, real‑time analytics pipelines, and the convergence of cloud and edge for autonomous vehicle and industrial IoT deployments.
