PostgreSQL: rynek
PostgreSQL is the default relational database for new products: open, extensible (JSONB, PostGIS, pgvector) and mature enough for fintech and high load. We track 6 024 open positions listing PostgreSQL, 5 575 of them fresh. Demand comes from two sides: developers need confident schema, index and query work, infrastructure roles — replication, backups and tuning. Most of the demand comes from Backend, Fullstack and DevOps roles. It most often appears next to Python, AWS and SQL. 45% of the postings allow fully remote work. Below is measured PostgreSQL demand: trend, countries, seniority and the adjacent stack.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania
Common questions about the PostgreSQL market — short answers from the same data slice.
What level of PostgreSQL is expected from a backend developer?
Schema and migration design, indexes (B-tree, GIN for JSONB), reading EXPLAIN ANALYZE, transactions and isolation levels, lock handling. Administration (replication, PITR, pgbouncer) usually belongs to DBA or DevOps.
PostgreSQL or MySQL — which appears more in requirements?
In new products — PostgreSQL: the slice tracks 6 024 open positions listing it. MySQL holds the web and legacy projects. Switching is easy, but PostgreSQL specifics (JSONB, window functions, extensions) are valued on their own.
Are there dedicated PostgreSQL DBA openings?
Yes, but few compared with development: PostgreSQL is more often part of the backend, DevOps or data-engineer profile. Pure DBA roles appear in banking, telecom and at managed-database cloud providers.
How remote-friendly are PostgreSQL jobs?
45% of postings with an explicit format allow fully remote work — database work translates well to distributed teams.
