Questions about these roles
How many software Engineering jobs in the UK paying over £40k are there right now?
We are tracking 55 live vacancies across 41 source domains. The crawler revisits public careers and vacancy 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 software Engineering jobs in the UK paying over £40k pay?
The median advertised annual salary midpoint is £55,000, based on the 53 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £45,000 to £70,000. Day and hourly rates are kept out of this annual-salary benchmark.
Can these roles be done remotely?
49% are advertised as fully remote and 43% as hybrid. Based on 37 roles that state an arrangement; 18 unknowns are excluded.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
4% of roles with a stated basis are contract or fixed-term; unknowns are excluded. A quoted day rate is treated as contract even when the advert does not use the word.
Which sources list the most roles?
The most active source labels right now are Gembaadvantage, INDEZ Ltd, Usesocket, Justratelimited and Thesusutech. Every vacancy links to its public source page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often TypeScript, React, PHP, JavaScript and Python. 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 software engineering specialist earn in the UK?
£55,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 28% above the £43,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the midpoint of each advertised annual range rather than an offer: 2 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 software engineering specialist in the UK?
34 of the 55 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 18 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 software engineering specialist jobs in the UK?
2 of the roles on this page read as graduate or junior level, which is 4% of what is live. Level is read from the job title, so a role advertised without one is counted as mid-level and may still be open to less experience.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack Software Engineer, Senior/Principal Software Engineer and .Net Web Developer / Flutter. 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 (62% 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.
