Filter jobs
We are currently tracking 32 live vacancies matching lead and principal Django jobs in the UK, advertised by 6 different employers. The most active employers in this slice are Remotefriendly, Experteyeconsulting, Stackcx and Ptonev. Every role is detected on the employer's own careers page rather than reposted from another board, so what you see here is the vacancy as the employer wrote it.
Too few of these roles publish a salary for a reliable benchmark. Where a figure is quoted it appears on the listing, and contract day rates are annualised so they can be compared against permanent salaries.
On working pattern, 91% are fully remote and 3% are hybrid. By seniority, 100% at lead or principal level. Filter by any of these on the left.
Employers hiring for Django in this slice most often ask for it alongside Python, Java, C#, TypeScript, React and Kubernetes. That co-occurrence is counted from the live listings on this page, not from a fixed list, so it moves with the market.

Questions about these roles
How many lead and principal Django jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 32 live vacancies across 6 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
Can these roles be done remotely?
91% are advertised as fully remote and 3% as hybrid. The rest are on-site or do not say — where an employer is silent we leave it blank rather than guessing.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
Every role here that states a basis is permanent. Contract vacancies are listed separately.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Remotefriendly, Experteyeconsulting, Stackcx, Ptonev and Newfireglobal. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often Python, Java, C#, TypeScript and React. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
Can you work from home as a Django developer in the UK?
30 of the 32 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 29 fully remote and 1 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate Django developer jobs in the UK?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Tech Lead/Full Stack Lead, Lead Software Engineer, Tech Lead / Back-end Developer, Engineering Manager and Platform Engineer - Senior Staff Software Infrastructure Engineer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
