Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Systems administration sits at the bottom of the band, cloud and platform engineering in the middle, and site-reliability and principal roles at the top; a cloud certification (AWS SA, AZ-104/305) and infrastructure-as-code set the premium. Contract day rates £500–£750 are common.
