IT tech demand
Which technologies employers ask for most, how much they pay for them, and where they are needed most. Data from a live database of open jobs worldwide, updated daily.
Share of jobs mentioning the technology, %
Share among the week's jobs that list at least one technology. Does not depend on how many sources are connected. The series starts no earlier than 2026-08-10: before that, technology tags on jobs were assigned incorrectly.
🔥 Most in-demand technologies
Technologies by the number of open jobs that mention them. A job usually names several technologies.
Rank is the place in the overall ranking by job count. Categories come from our own reference list; a technology not in it goes to “other”.
Salary by technology

Share of jobs with this technology and an IT role (the catch-all Other and IT buckets are excluded), so a row across six directions sums to less than 100%. Hatching means fewer than 5 jobs in the cell: not zero, just too few to publish. Hover a cell to see the count and the base.

How we calculate these numbers
- Where the data comes from. Public sources — company career sites, job boards and Telegram channels for IT worldwide.
- What goes into the sample. Only live, open jobs with a clear description: the role is stated and at least a couple of key technologies. Spam and content-free fragments are filtered out.
- Salaries. All amounts are normalised to USD/month and obvious outliers are removed. A technology shows a number only if at least 20 jobs with a salary are available for it.
- Technologies. We take meaningful skills. Very generic terms (Git, REST, Agile, etc.) are excluded — they appear almost everywhere and do not help compare.
