150+ software engineer jobs in London from 40+ employers. Get referred by a verified employee instead of applying cold.
RefOpen currently lists 150 live software engineer roles in London, posted by 42 different employers, 93 of them in the last seven days. The companies posting most often right now are Palantir, Scale AI and Amazon. Every one of these is a real opening pulled from the employer's own careers page or an aggregator, not a reposted listing.
Job titles in this market cluster around Senior Value Engineer, System Development Engineer, AWS Networking, Senior Software Engineer and Senior Solutions Engineer. Titles vary far more than the work does, so it is worth searching the family rather than one exact phrase: a "Senior Value Engineer" at one company and a "System Development Engineer, AWS Networking" at another are frequently the same job at the same level.
London is a competitive market for this function, and with 42 employers hiring at once the same candidates are applying to many of them. A cold application lands in an applicant tracking system alongside hundreds of others and is filtered before a human sees it. A referral is submitted from inside the company, which puts the application in front of a recruiter as a named recommendation rather than another row in a queue.
Create a RefOpen profile, find the software engineer role you want in London, and request a referral from a verified employee at that company. You do not need an existing connection there. If nobody takes up your request, the cost is refunded in full, so the downside of asking is nothing.

Yes. That is what RefOpen is for. Verified employees at the company opt in to refer candidates they do not already know, so you are not dependent on an existing network.
No, and any site that promises one is misleading you. A referral gets your application read by a person inside the company instead of filtered by software. If no employee takes your request, RefOpen refunds it in full.
Browsing jobs and creating a profile is free. Requesting a referral costs a small amount, priced for the local market, and is refunded if the request is not taken up.
