If you are looking into a career direction, it’s worth checking out the latest list of top 10 highest-paying tech jobs, recently published by job search site Indeed.
Making the top of the list is the job of software architect with an average salary of US$116,267. In case you were wondering, software architects link a company’s tech unit and management. The position requires technical knowledge, experience, and a computer related degree.

According to the report, “…both positions are seeing extremely healthy growth ... the role of DevOps Engineer has seen a 225% jump in postings on Indeed since January 2015.”
Indeed SVP Paul D’Arcy said, “These days, every company is a tech company, and there’s a talent war going on for the best engineers, designers, and developers. That often translates into higher pay, competitive benefits, and flexibility in where people can live and how they work.”
