Salary by Seniority

Last 90 days · Finland · Monthly salaries only · Software Engineer, Backend Engineer, DevOps, Data & AI Engineer, and 12 related titles

  • ~€9,860/moSenior€6,020 – €13,020 range · n=108
  • ~€7,160/moMid-Level€4,000 – €10,390 range · n=70
Junior, Intern, Expert, Executive, and Manager levels each had only one salary-disclosing listing in this window. That's too few to report reliably, so they're excluded here. Only 180 of 902 listings (20%) disclosed monthly salary.

The seniority curve for software and engineering roles is steep, but the spread within each level is wide: senior salaries range from €6,020 to €13,020 per month at the p25–p75 mark, roughly double at the top of that range compared to the bottom. Moving from mid-level to senior adds a median of about €2,700/mo. Both figures rest on reasonably solid samples (n=108 senior, n=70 mid-level), but all figures are drawn from the 20% of listings that voluntarily disclosed salary data, a pattern explored further in our Finland salary transparency guide. These medians run well above our broader Technology Salary Guide, which spans the whole Technology field, including onsite trades and IT support, not just software and engineering roles.

Software Engineer alone accounts for four in ten listings in this group. It's by far the single most common title. Backend Engineer and AI Engineer follow at a considerable distance. This guide focuses specifically on software, backend, DevOps, data, and AI/ML engineering roles, and excludes hardware, electrical, industrial, and other Technology-adjacent titles, which pay and work very differently.

Remote work is common, not exceptional, once the field is scoped to actual software and engineering roles: 44% of listings offer a fully remote arrangement, more than ten times the rate found across Finland's broader Technology field, which includes onsite trades. Job seekers targeting software roles specifically should expect meaningfully more remote flexibility than field-wide averages elsewhere on this site suggest.
