Backend Engineer Jobs in Manchester
Manchester is the UK's second tech hub, with strong concentrations in fintech (Co-op Bank, AutoTrader), media (BBC, ITV) and gaming. Pay sits at roughly 80–85% of London for equivalent roles, with a meaningfully lower cost of living that often makes the take-home better.
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".
