Despite layoffs across the wider tech sector, the UK’s technology industry is in good shape, and is one of only three countries globally with a tech economy valued at over $1 trillion.
In 2022, Britain’s tech industry was worth more than double that of Germany’s – and was almost five times larger than France and Sweden. During 2020 and 2021, the sector saw growth of 42% and forecasts estimate that the industry’s value could be worth £2 trillion by 2032.
Additionally, you can expect to earn 55% more than the average wage, and with a skills shortage still in evidence, top tech talent is in a great position. Roles in areas such as software engineering, AI and machine learning, cybersecurity and data analytics are in demand.
If you have the right skills, there are job opportunities out there that are waiting to be filled. Below, we are highlighting five senior tech jobs available now, but you can find many more on the Growth Business job board.
