How this list works
This ranking is recomputed automatically from CozyJobs' live listing data — no editorial picks, no pay-to-play. Roles with disclosed pay rank first (highest annualized pay at the top), followed by trending and most recently posted roles. Expired or filled listings drop off the moment our link-checking detects them.
Frequently asked questions
Which tech jobs pay the most?+
Staff-plus engineering, machine learning, and security architecture lead at $200,000–$400,000+ base at larger companies; engineering management and senior product management sit in similar bands. Salaries on this list are base pay as disclosed — equity and bonus usually come on top.
Can I get a high-paying tech job without a computer science degree?+
Yes — a large share of listings here don't require a specific degree, and employers increasingly hire on demonstrated skill. Data, DevOps, QA automation, and technical writing are common degree-optional entry tracks that climb into six figures.
How is this list ranked and how often does it update?+
Rankings are recomputed automatically from live listing data — disclosed pay first, then trending status and freshness. The list refreshes throughout the day as new listings are ingested and expired ones drop off, so every entry links to a role that is actually open.
Where do CozyJobs listings come from?+
Listings are aggregated daily from employer career sites, major ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, and more), and direct submissions. Automated quality filters remove volunteer/unpaid roles and known aggregator spam, so what surfaces is paid, real work.
Is CozyJobs free to use?+
Browsing and creating an account are free. To unlock full job descriptions, employer names, apply links, and AI-tailored applications, choose a paid plan starting at $25/month — see cozyjobs.ai/pricing.
