We are currently tracking 375 live vacancies matching senior Python jobs in the UK, advertised by 183 different employers. 90 of them were first seen in the last seven days. The most active employers in this slice are Ncube, A Listware, Bdtechture and Krify. 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 375 roles, 35 publish a salary. The median advertised ceiling is £85,000. The middle half of the market sits between £75,000 and £100,000, so anything above the upper figure is a genuinely strong offer for senior Python jobs in the UK. Contract day rates are annualised at 230 working days a year, so permanent and contract pay compare like for like.

On working pattern, 37% are fully remote, 36% are hybrid and 1% are contract rather than permanent. By seniority, 100% at senior level. Filter by any of these on the left.

Employers hiring for Python in this slice most often ask for it alongside React, Java, AWS, C#, Machine Learning 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 senior Python jobs in the UK are there right now?

We are tracking 375 live vacancies across 183 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 senior Python jobs in the UK pay?

The median advertised ceiling is £85,000, based on the 35 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £75,000 to £100,000. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.

Can these roles be done remotely?

37% are advertised as fully remote and 36% 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?

1% 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 Ncube, A Listware, Bdtechture, Krify and Langchain. 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 React, Java, AWS, C# and Machine Learning. 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 Python developer earn in the UK?

£85,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 55% 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: 340 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 Python developer in the UK?

273 of the 375 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 138 fully remote and 135 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.

Are there entry-level or graduate Python 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 Data Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Senior Python Developer, Senior Full-Stack Engineer and Senior Platform Engineer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
