About these roles
Software Engineer jobs at SaaS companies
Software engineers design, build and run the product. These are roles without a narrower specialism in the title: most SaaS companies hire generalist engineers into product teams and let them specialise over time.
For what SaaS companies pay Software Engineer roles by level, location and company, see the Software Engineer salary guide.
Pay depends heavily on level and location. Where companies publish a range, the typical role on this page lists $220k–$325k in the US (median published minimum and maximum). About 90% of the roles here include a salary; use Salary listed first to see those at the top.
Remote roles make up 1% of the openings on this page. Most remote roles are limited to a region for tax and time-zone reasons, so check the location chips before you apply.
44 SaaS companies are hiring for these roles right now, led by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks.
Questions about SaaS Software Engineer jobs
Where do these SaaS Software Engineer jobs come from?
Every job is pulled from the company’s own hiring system (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable or Rippling) once an hour. We do not accept paid or reposted listings, so each role links back to the company’s live careers page.
What happens when I click Apply?
You go straight to the job on the company’s careers site and apply there. We never host applications and never see or store your details.
Why don’t all jobs show a salary?
We only show pay when the company publishes it in the job post. Around 90% of the roles on this page include a range today. Sort by “Salary listed first” to see those roles at the top.
How do I know a job is still open?
We check every company’s job board hourly. When a role is removed from the careers page, we remove it here within the hour and point you to similar open roles.
How much do SaaS Software Engineer roles pay?
Where companies publish a range, the typical open role here lists $220k–$325k in the US (median published minimum and maximum). Pay rises with level and varies by location; the Software Engineer salary guide breaks it down.
Are all of these roles based in California?
Each role has at least one office or hiring location in California. Some postings list several locations or also allow remote work; the location chips on each job show the full picture.
