What do Software engineers in New York work on?

The titles and summaries on this page point to work that is heavily shaped by AI and machine learning themes. Several roles involve building or evaluating generative AI models, large language model integrations, and agentic systems — for example, developing full-stack generative AI features for document editors or designing distributed tracing infrastructure for autonomous AI workflows.

Other postings are closer to platform and infrastructure work: architecting a telemetry platform processing billions of events, building RAG-backed knowledge libraries and embedding search pipelines, or leading technical design for a documentation platform across multiple teams.

Product-facing engineering also appears, covering payments, card issuing, smart contracts, and developer tooling. Most postings carry significant cross-team scope, and many at staff or senior-lead level explicitly include mentoring and technical strategy alongside hands-on coding.

Skills and experience employers ask for

The skills counts come from mentions in descriptions across a sample of 300 postings, not from a complete scan of all live jobs, so they indicate emphasis rather than hard requirements. APIs and Python appear in roughly the same share of that sample, making them the most commonly mentioned. Cloud platforms — AWS ahead of GCP and Azure — appear in a meaningful minority. TypeScript, React, agents, and LLMs each feature in a notable share, reflecting the AI and full-stack themes visible in the titles.

LLMs 22%

Software Engineer roles that state a salary

The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels — not an average and not a market rate.

New York office, hybrid or remote?

Most postings on this page specify onsite working in New York; a substantial minority state hybrid arrangements. A small number are listed as remote. No posting in these listings has an unknown work mode, so the picture is clearer than is often the case. Candidates should read each posting carefully, however, as hybrid terms — days in office, flexibility expectations — vary by employer and are not standardised across these listings. Remote eligibility is stated per posting and should not be inferred from an employer's general reputation.

Make your application specific to the work

  1. Check seniority level carefully Many postings distinguish between senior, staff, and lead expectations — and the experience thresholds differ significantly between them. Confirm which band a role sits in before applying, as some titles combine levels in ways that can be ambiguous.
  2. Note the technical stack stated Postings in these listings specify languages and frameworks explicitly — Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, and others appear across different roles. Tailor your application materials to the stack listed in each individual posting rather than using a generic profile.
  3. Review advertised pay ranges where shown Only a minority of postings include an advertised salary range. Where a range is shown, it covers total compensation or base salary depending on the employer — check each posting's detail to understand what the figure represents.
  4. Confirm work arrangement before applying Onsite, hybrid, and remote postings are all present here. Since the terms of hybrid arrangements are not standardised, contact the employer or check the full job description to understand exact expectations before submitting an application.

Questions about Software Engineer jobs in New York

The employers with the most postings on this page are Anthropic, CoreWeave, Palantir, Robinhood, Scale AI, Datadog, Gusto, and Harvey, among a larger set of employers. The sample summaries also include roles from Google, Capital One, Stripe, and Decagon.

Only a minority of postings include advertised pay ranges, so a complete picture is not available here. Among those that do state ranges, the figures in these postings run from around $200,000 to over $385,000, with staff and senior-staff roles at the upper end. These are individual advertised ranges and should not be read as representative of all roles on the page.

A small number of postings on this page are listed as remote. The majority specify onsite, with a substantial share stating hybrid. Each posting states its work mode explicitly — none are listed as unknown — so you can filter by arrangement before applying.

Senior and lead-level roles make up the largest share of postings where seniority is clear. A portion of postings do not state a seniority level explicitly. Intern and junior roles appear in only a very small number of postings, and there are a handful of manager and director-level positions.

Many postings mention AI-related skills — agents, LLMs, and generative AI techniques appear in a notable share of the 300-posting sample. However, not all roles focus on AI; some are oriented around payments, infrastructure, developer tooling, and platform engineering. Whether AI experience is required or simply preferred varies by posting and should be confirmed in each individual job description.
