Feeny is tracking about 8,824 open tech roles across the UK, from roughly 1,259 companies hiring. Each one comes straight from a company's own careers page, so a listing is a live role rather than a stale repost. London carries most of the volume, but the count also picks up work in Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Cambridge. Filter by city or discipline to cut it down to what you want. ### Which cities in the United Kingdom have the most tech jobs? London dominates, and it isn't close: fintech, AI, and global finance all cluster there. Cambridge is the deep-tech outlier, home to Arm and a serious chip and hardware scene. Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Bristol are the real secondary hubs, each with its own base of engineers. Across the 4 UK cities we index, London is where most listings land, but the others are worth a look if you'd rather not pay London rent. ### What companies are hiring for tech roles in United Kingdom? Fintech is the loudest story: Revolut, Monzo, and Wise all grew out of London and keep hiring engineers. The AI scene is real too, with Google DeepMind based in the city. Up in Cambridge, Arm designs the chip architectures inside most of the world's phones. Feeny lists roles from about 1,259 companies across the country, so the current set is worth checking directly. ### What kinds of tech roles are common in United Kingdom? The mix leans fintech, AI and machine learning, and enterprise software. London's role in global finance means a lot of demand for backend, payments, and infrastructure engineers who can work at scale. DeepMind and a growing research crowd pull in AI and ML people. Cambridge adds hardware and chip-design work that you won't find in most other UK cities. ### What is it like to work in tech in United Kingdom? London is the center of gravity, and that cuts both ways: the biggest salaries and the most senior roles sit there, but so does some of the highest cost of living in Europe. Move to Manchester, Edinburgh, or Bristol and your money goes considerably further, though the pool of top-tier roles is thinner. The finance-meets-tech culture gives London a harder, more corporate edge than a Berlin or Amsterdam. It's a deep market, but you're trading rent against opportunity. ### Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in United Kingdom? The Skilled Worker visa is the main route, and the UK is generally open to hiring skilled foreigners for tech roles. The catch is that your employer has to be a licensed sponsor, so it's worth checking that before you get too far into a process. Standout people can also apply through the Global Talent visa, which doesn't tie you to a single employer. One thing to know since Brexit: EU citizens now need a visa too, so the old free-movement route is gone. --- _Source: https://feeny.ai/location/united-kingdom_
