Few employers in this selection publish pay, so these figures are Alion estimates built from comparable listings by role, level and country. Gross annual, converted to USD.
The market right now
Alion currently lists 53 open Backend Developer jobs in Lagos from 37 companies. 13 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 29 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 5 of the 53 carry 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 are 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Most employers in this selection do not publish a figure, so the range below is Alion's own estimate, derived from 22 comparable listings priced by role, level and country. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $22K and $22K a year, with a median of $22K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are Nigeria (53), Kenya (2), Uganda (2), India (1), and Russia (1). 17% of the listings are fully remote and a further 19% are hybrid, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Backend Developer jobs in Lagos right now are iRecharge Tech-Innovations (6), The Tonic Technologies Limited (TTT) (3), Stanbic IBTC Holdings (3), Tenece Professional Services (3), Appzone (2), and Conclase Consulting (2). Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are JavaScript (28), CI/CD (22), Docker (21), AWS (19), Node JS (18), Java (17), TypeScript (17), and SQL (16). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
