We are currently tracking 189 live vacancies matching remote IT jobs in the UK paying over £50k, advertised by 70 different employers. 54 of them were first seen in the last seven days. The most active employers in this slice are Monzo, Grafana Labs, Crestwoodsearch and Forgepointcap. 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.

Of the 189 roles, 189 publish a salary. The median advertised ceiling is £110,000. The middle half of the market sits between £65,000 and £140,000, so anything above the upper figure is a genuinely strong offer for remote IT jobs in the UK paying over £50k. Contract day rates are annualised at 230 working days a year, so permanent and contract pay compare like for like.

On working pattern, 100% are fully remote and 4% are contract rather than permanent. By seniority, 50% at mid level and 25% at lead or principal level. Filter by any of these on the left.

The technologies that come up most often in remote IT jobs in the UK paying over £50k are Python, AWS, React, SQL, Kubernetes and Docker. 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 IT jobs in the UK paying over £50k are there right now?

We are tracking 189 live vacancies across 70 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.

What do remote IT jobs in the UK paying over £50k pay?

The median advertised ceiling is £110,000, based on the 189 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £65,000 to £140,000. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.

Are these contract or permanent roles?

4% 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 Monzo, Grafana Labs, Crestwoodsearch, Forgepointcap and Zwickytechnology. 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, AWS, React, SQL and Kubernetes. 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.

How much does a IT professional earn in the UK?

£110,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 100% above the £55,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the ceiling an employer is advertising towards rather than an offer: 0 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.

Are there entry-level or graduate IT professional 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 Network and Security Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Quality Assurance Manager, Senior Software Engineer and Applications Engineer - Automation & Software. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.

How much experience do these roles need?

The largest group is mid level (50% of the page). Seniority is read from the job title, so a role that does not signal a level in its title is counted as mid-level.
