Filter jobs
We are currently tracking 33 live vacancies matching lead and principal Spark jobs in the UK, advertised by 21 different employers. 6 of them were first seen in the last seven days. The most active employers in this slice are Remotefriendly, Publicisgroupeuk, Addepto and Nxzen. 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, 39% are fully remote, 18% are hybrid and 3% are contract rather than permanent. By seniority, 100% at lead or principal level. Filter by any of these on the left.
Employers hiring for Spark in this slice most often ask for it alongside Kubernetes, Docker, Machine Learning, SQL, Azure and Python. 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 Spark jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 33 live vacancies across 21 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?
39% are advertised as fully remote and 18% 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?
3% are contract or fixed-term and the remainder are permanent or unstated. A quoted day rate is treated as contract even when the advert does not use the word.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Remotefriendly, Publicisgroupeuk, Addepto, Nxzen and Mwb Me. 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 Kubernetes, Docker, Machine Learning, SQL and Azure. 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 Spark developer in the UK?
19 of the 33 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 13 fully remote and 6 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate Spark 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 Technical Product Manager, Serve as a Technical Project Manager, Cloud Data Architect | Careers, ML Lead Technical Architect and Senior (Lead) Platform Data Engineer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
