Software Developer job outlook

Counted on 6 Nov 2026; the page is refreshed every day.

Every figure on this page is counted live from the job postings Find Your Career collects from company career pages, for postings whose title is "Software Developer" or starts with it, in every country. That is a large slice of the market, not all of it: employers that only post on job boards or through agencies are missing, and the split by country reflects where we collect most. Read the figures for their direction and proportions rather than as the size of the whole market.

Above 1,000 open jobs the count is an estimate: the newest 1,000 postings are checked one by one against the same rules the job search uses, and the total is scaled by the share that passes.

New postings per month and per day count every job posted that day, including jobs that have closed since, from July 2026 on; new postings last week count the jobs still open. The open-job comparison with 7 and 30 days ago is taken from a daily count that started in November 2026. Salaries are the quartiles of the yearly pay listed in the newest postings, converted to US dollars at the day's rates.
