2026 Remote Software Engineer Salary Insights

Terminal's 2026 Remote Software Engineer Salary Insights gives hiring and engineering leaders the numbers they need to build their team with confidence. Built off Terminal's 260K+ salary database, the data compares US salaries by country, role, and level across Canada, Latin America, and Europe. New for this year: compare monthly contractor rates for every market alongside full-time employee salaries.

The headline finding: AI/ML engineers are now the highest-paid role globally at a $108,526 median, with data scientists and data engineers right behind, pushing DevOps out of last year's top three. It also surfaces the cost most teams overlook: added employment costs that vary across markets.
