The market right now
Alion currently lists 81 open Backend Developer jobs in Glasgow from 18 companies. 7 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 18 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 1 of the 81 carries the marks of a stale or abandoned posting - open far beyond the usual time to fill, reposted, or on a board that mostly never closes a role - and is marked as likely inactive; the list can hide them. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
What these roles pay
Most employers in this selection do not publish a figure, so the range below is Alion's own estimate, derived from 71 comparable listings priced by role, level and country. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $104K and $166K a year, with a median of $122K. By level, the median runs middle at $120K, senior at $103K, and lead at $168K. The step from middle to lead is worth about 1.4x on median pay. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.

The largest concentrations of these roles are United Kingdom (3). 23% offer a hybrid arrangement, while the rest expect you on site.

Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are CI/CD (56), Agile (45), Java (44), AWS (43), Python (40), Kubernetes (27), JavaScript (20), and SQL (18).
