In the U.S., ability with the computing framework Spark and the programming language Scala bring in the highest salaries, at an average of $125,000. Database management system Cassandra, programming language F# and open-source framework Hadoop were also top-paying technologies, at $115,000.
The survey also broke down the top-paying tech skills by occupation, identifying the most lucrative specialties for full-stack developers, front-end developers, mathematics developers and mobile developers. Full-stack developers who can develop for the cloud and work with Redis or React are the best-paid in their field, earning an average of $105,000. For front-end developers, expertise in React ($105,000), followed by Node.JS ($95,000) brings in the most money.
Meanwhile, developers with a mathematics background who know Scala ($140,000), Spark ($130,000) and Hadoop ($125,000) get paid more than their peers. Finally, mobile developers who specialized in Objective-C earned the most in their area ($100,000), while those with a strong grounding in iOS earned about $10,000 more on average than those who are primarily Android developers.
Mobile developers are high earners
Stack Overflow also looked at what positions pay the most. Unsurprisingly, the highest paid roles in tech belonged to executives (VP of Engineering, CTO, CIO, etc.), with an average salary of $150,314. They were followed by engineering managers, who hold an average salary of $143,122.
While most of the listed positions had a salary that exceeded or hovered around six figures, the developer position that commanded the highest salary was mobile developer (specifically for iOS) at $115,460. Back-end web developers had an average salary of $108,580, followed by full-stack web developers ($100,273) and front-end web developers ($97,016).
