Questions about these roles

How many microsoft SQL Server jobs in the UK paying over £80k are there right now?

We are tracking 18 live vacancies across 5 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 microsoft SQL Server jobs in the UK paying over £80k pay?

The median advertised ceiling is £97,250, based on the 18 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £97,250 to £97,250. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.

Can these roles be done remotely?

6% are advertised as fully remote and 89% 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 Mainframemaster, Orlaroseassociates, Castlewater, 1Place1Cloud and Remotefriendly. 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 SQL, Python, Java, AWS and PostgreSQL. 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 Microsoft SQL Server developer earn in the UK?

£97,250 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 77% 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.

Can you work from home as a Microsoft SQL Server developer in the UK?

17 of the 18 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 1 fully remote and 16 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.

Are there entry-level or graduate Microsoft SQL Server 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 Senior Software Developer – Castle Water Careers, Technical/Cloud Oracle DBA or Technical Architect, R&D Software Engineer, Mainframe Software Technical Support Engineer and Sr Mainframe Technical Consultant. 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 (61% 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.
