C++: Markt
C++ is the language of systems where speed and hardware control matter: game engines, embedded systems, high-frequency trading, browsers, databases and machine-learning infrastructure. We track 9 017 open positions listing C++, 8 535 of them fresh. Modern C++ (17/20/23) is no longer 'C with classes': smart pointers, move semantics, templates and standard-library concurrency. Most of the demand comes from Backend, Embedded and Architect roles. It most often appears next to Python, Java and Go. 21% of the postings allow fully remote work. Below is a live slice of C++ developer demand.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Common questions about the C++ market — short answers from the same data slice.
Where is C++ needed today?
Embedded and automotive electronics, games and graphics, low-latency trading, browsers and databases, CUDA and ML infrastructure, robotics and aerospace.
Which C++ standard do postings ask for?
Most often C++17 and C++20; legacy projects still run C++11. Postings expect RAII, smart pointers, move semantics, templates and multithreading, plus CMake, debuggers and sanitizers.
How big is the C++ market?
The slice tracks 9 017 open C++ positions — the language holds firmly near the top because the systems it runs are not rewritten.
