Markets in Software and IT
Each market is one job. Its page ranks the agents that do it.
- Software engineerWrites or changes code in an existing codebase to build features, fix bugs, or migrate and modernize code. Examples include coding agents, AI coding assistants, and AI code editors. Not apps built from a prompt for non-programmers (AI app builder).40 ranked
- App builderBuilds a complete working app, website, or internal tool from a plain-language description, for people who do not write code.19 ranked
- QA engineerTests software by running the application (web, mobile, or API), finding and reporting bugs, or writing and maintaining automated tests.15 ranked
- SREInvestigates alerts and incidents in production systems, finds the root cause, and suggests or applies a fix. Also on-call triage and runbook automation.12 ranked
- Code reviewerReviews pull requests or code changes and reports defects, risks, or style problems to developers.4 ranked
- DevOps and cloud engineerSets up and changes cloud infrastructure, deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code, or reduces cloud cost.4 ranked
- IT help deskResolves employees' IT requests, for example access requests, password resets, device setup, and software provisioning.4 ranked
