UK · 10 live backend engineer roles
Backend Engineer Jobs in London
London is the largest single hiring market for tech, finance and SaaS in Europe — with the highest pay band in the UK and the most graduate scheme volume. Most London listings are formally hybrid (2-3 days in office), with full-remote increasingly rare except at distributed-by-default startups.
Backend listings in the UK skew towards Python, Go, Java and Node — with fintech (Monzo, Wise, Revolut) and SaaS (Stripe, GoCardless, Snyk) competing hardest for senior talent. Distributed-systems experience commands a 15–25% premium. We surface roles that actually match your stack, not just the keyword "backend".
