Software development jobs FAQs

Let’s break it down!  Software developers design, build, and maintain software applications. They write code, test features, fix bugs, and collaborate with teams to create digital tools like websites, apps, and internal systems. Their work powers everything from mobile banking to streaming platforms. 

You’ve got options! Learn programming languages like Python or JavaScript, build a portfolio of projects, and gain hands-on experience through internships, bootcamps, or freelance work. Employers value practical skills and problem-solving ability, so showcasing real-world work is key regardless of your educational background. 

In short, low-code technology is unlikely to replace skilled developers anytime soon. Despite the rising use of low-code development platforms – which remove the amount of code required to develop software – it is unlikely that the technology will replace dedicated developers. 

Low-code technology often has limitations, and skilled coders will always be in high demand for projects requiring high scalability and functionality. Rather than replacing developers, low-code automation often seeks to empower them by boosting productivity. 

Good news it pays well! Software developers in the US typically earn between $90,000 and $150,000 annually. Entry-level roles start around $70,000, while senior or specialized positions—especially in cloud, AI, or cybersecurity can exceed $220,000, particularly in major tech hubs like San Francisco or New York. 

Software developers focus on building and maintaining applications, while software engineers often design broader systems and architecture. The roles overlap in many companies, but engineers may take a more strategic, system-level approach to solving technical challenges. 

Cloud (AWS, Azure), AI/ML, cybersecurity, and full-stack development are hot. React, Python, and .NET Core are especially sought after.
