Clinching the No. 1 spot is enterprise architect. Those responsible for ensuring the reliability of their organizations’ IT systems and software, enterprise architects have been instrumental in the shift to remote and hybrid work. In fact, the pandemic propelled the position onto the list in 2021, when it debuted at No. 4.
Rounding out the top three is full stack engineer, followed by data scientist. Six-figure average earnings—$101,794 and $120,000, respectively—and high satisfaction scores—4.3 and 4.1—helped them earn high marks. Those in highly technical jobs such as these, and the 21 other tech-related roles on Glassdoor’s list, are often more easily able to work remote or hybrid than their colleagues in other fields, says Zhao.
Over the course of the past year, job openings for HR managers—charged with enhancing the employee experience—nearly doubled, while those for corporate recruiters—responsible for attracting talent—close to quadrupled. At $91,502 and $77,700, their average earning potential may not match that of their tech colleagues, but they’re more satisfied in their jobs, with each scoring 4.4.
