    Pros: Flexible hours RTO's are up to you as long as you complete the minimum Chill workplace Great benefits

    Cons: Projects take a while to get approved Might get put on the back burner if the project isn't of high priority

  • Good place to start, not much for long term
    2026-03-06T18:22:12.600

    Pros: Good starting salary Good integration in teams

    Cons: Salary doesn't scale much with time Remote work is slowly fading away even tho they told us it would stay Lots of micromanagement

  • Equivalent of an ant
    2026-03-06T16:37:19.980

    Pros: Small teams can create opportunities to learn multiple roles quickly. Some coworkers are knowledgeable and willing to help if you find the right people. Stable company with predictable processes and large enterprise clients.

    Cons: Employees are treated as interchangeable resources rather than professionals. Advancement is slow and often tied more to internal politics than performance. Compensation and raises do not reflect workload or market value. Decision making is bureaucratic and inefficient. Individual impact feels minimal inside a very large corporate structure.

Frequently asked questions about software developer jobs in Canada

What is a ghost job?

A ghost job is a posting for a role the company isn't actively hiring for. Some stay up after the company fills the role. Others collect resumes for an opening that may never come.

You spend an evening tailoring an application, and nobody on the other side is looking for you.

What do software developer jobs in Canada pay?

Across the postings here that list pay, the median is about $114,000 a year (in US dollars). Most of these postings list a pay range.

How many software developer jobs in Canada are there?

At our last count there were about 370 open postings from about 150 employers. The list on this page is live, so the count above it is the current one.

How does Enhancv spot a ghost job?

Every posting goes through five checks: how long it has been up, whether a salary is posted, what employees say about the company, how specific the description is and whether it lists real requirements. Each job shows the checks it passed and the ones it didn't.

How fresh are the job postings?

Enhancv checks postings every hour, and every job shows how long ago it went up. Most hires happen within 30 days of posting. A listing that's been open for two months raises its ghost job risk.
