About these roles

London's senior backend market is the largest in Europe by listing volume — fintech (Monzo, Revolut, Wise, Starling, Cleo, plus the Stripe / Block / Mercury London offices) anchors the median, with comp running £90-140k base for senior. AI-cluster roles at the DeepMind-adjacent tier push higher (£110-170k); investment banking tech sits in the middle; B2B SaaS is increasingly competitive with fintech on cash but lower on bonus. Most senior roles are hybrid 2-3 days; pre-2022 fully-remote roles have largely converted back. Tier 2 / Skilled Worker sponsorship is widely available at the larger employers. The biggest in-person clusters are Old Street, Liverpool Street, and Canary Wharf — your commute is a non-trivial part of the calculation.
