12 Companies That Hire for Remote Software Engineer Jobs

By Christine Bernier Lienke

Software engineers and developers are the creative brains behind computer programming. While some developers design and maintain the apps used in daily life, others are responsible for developing the underlying systems that control devices or networks.

And while developer and engineer are often used interchangeably, there may be some differences between the jobs. In general, developers are tasked with building software, while engineers often lead the process of design, development, and testing.

Higher salaries and work flexibility are two of the primary advantages of a software development career. In 2020, a software developer could expect to earn just over $110,000 on average with only a bachelor’s degree—and employment in this field is expected to grow 22% through 2030.

The software development industry is ideally suited to flexible work. Because 100% of the work can usually be done online, those looking for employment in this industry can find a large variety of flexible software developer jobs, making working from home for the long-term a reality.
