How much does a software engineering specialist earn in the UK?
£88,750 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 100% above the £44,290 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the midpoint of each advertised annual range rather than an offer: 1 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?
7 of the 13 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 2 fully remote and 5 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?
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 Engineer, Senior/Principal Software Engineer, Full Stack Developers, Senior Software Engineer (Application Operations) and Software Engineer. 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 (54% 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.
