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, 100% are fully remote and 5% are contract rather than permanent. By seniority, 100% at lead or principal level. Filter by any of these on the left.
Employers hiring for Linux in this slice most often ask for it alongside Java, AWS, Machine Learning, Python, Azure and Google Cloud. 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 remote lead and principal Linux jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 20 live vacancies across 10 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.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
5% 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 Pubmatic, Remotefriendly, Naspa, Torquepartnership and Brookfieldglobal. 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 Java, AWS, Machine Learning, Python 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.
Are there entry-level or graduate Linux 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 Project Manager, Application Developer, Lead, Senior Product Designer & Product Manager - (Autos & Travel), Technical Project Manager – Physical Security Systems and Principal/Senior/Software Engineer (AI-Powered Advertising Agents - AgenticOS). Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
