Questions about these roles
How many senior Software Engineering jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 432 live vacancies across 331 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 senior Software Engineering jobs in the UK pay?
The median advertised annual salary midpoint is £67,500, based on the 16 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £47,535 to £78,750. Day and hourly rates are kept out of this annual-salary benchmark.
Can these roles be done remotely?
61% are advertised as fully remote and 35% as hybrid. Based on 161 roles that state an arrangement; 271 unknowns are excluded.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
6% 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 Sykasys, Tauventures, Cobbleweb, Adzact and Kyrostechnologies. 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 React, PHP, Node.js, Java 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?
£67,500 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 59% above the £42,500 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the midpoint of each advertised annual range rather than an offer: 416 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?
154 of the 432 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 98 fully remote and 56 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 Full Stack Engineer, Senior Backend Developer, Senior Full-Stack Engineer and Senior Developer. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
