Jobs in the UK
Frequently asked questions about lead software engineer jobs in the UK
What is a ghost job?
A ghost job is a posting for a role the company isn't actively hiring for. Some stay up after the company fills the role. Others collect resumes for an opening that may never come.
You spend an evening tailoring an application, and nobody on the other side is looking for you.
What do lead software engineer jobs in the UK pay?
Few of these postings list pay. Where an employer posts a range, the job card shows it; where it doesn't, the card shows an estimate and says so. Counting those estimates, the median here is about $102,000 a year (in US dollars).
How many lead software engineer jobs in the UK are there?
At our last count there were about 140 open postings from 80 employers. The list on this page is live, so the count above it is the current one.
How does Enhancv spot a ghost job?
Every posting goes through five checks: how long it has been up, whether a salary is posted, what employees say about the company, how specific the description is and whether it lists real requirements. Each job shows the checks it passed and the ones it didn't.
How fresh are the job postings?
Enhancv checks postings every hour, and every job shows how long ago it went up. Most hires happen within 30 days of posting. A listing that's been open for two months raises its ghost job risk.
