One of the brightest spots in the employment picture for the last few years has been the tech job sector and the outlook remains quite sunny. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of jobs for what it calls “computer and information research scientists” will increase by 15% between 2012 and 2022. For software developers, the forecast is even better, with a projected growth rate of 22%. (Compare that to my field: Job opportunities for a category it calls “reporters, correspondents and broadcast news analysts” are expected to shrink by 13% in that period.)

If the job outlook is strong for computer scientists nationwide, where are the hottest markets? I checked in with Indeed, the Google-like job listing aggregator, to get the latest information about which cities have the greatest number of postings for computer science jobs and how those positions are paying. Salaries are good: $103,000 is the average pay for Senior Software Engineers, according to Indeed, one of the top five job titles listed, with 1,200 postings nationwide. Other job titles with the greatest number of listings: Software Engineer, Software Developer, Software Developer/Data Modeler, Software Development Engineer.

When Indeed gathered its data, it counted jobs that were listed directly by employers as opposed to those listed by staffing firms, to ensure against duplicates.

I asked Indeed to crunch numbers and come up with the 10 cities that have the most job listings for computer scientists. I’ve listed them all in the slideshow above, with the number of job listings, more than 1,000 in each city. As they were when I wrote this story a year ago, computer jobs are clustered around New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston and Austin, Texas, and the Washington, DC area. Off the list: Boston and Atlanta. Instead there are three new cities not far from DC which are rife with government jobs and/or government contractors—Alexandria and Herndon, VA, and Annapolis Junction, MD.

The top city this year is, in fact, Washington, DC, up from fifth place last year (it was No. 1 two years ago), with a staggering 5,900 listings on Indeed. A typical job: Software Engineer in the DC office of $45 billion (sales) Bethesda, MD-based aerospace and defense contractor Lockheed Martin. The post looks challenging: the employer wants at least five years of experience in an alphabet soup of computer languages, including C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, MVC, and Web Services. The successful candidate must also be directed and self-disciplined. “Without detailed direction, plan, prepare, and complete the design of assigned complex components and functional systems,” reads the description. There is no salary posted but salary listing site Glassdoor pegs a software engineer’s salary at Lockheed Martin in DC with 4-6 years of experience, counting bonus, at $76,000. My sense it that the number could go higher than that, given the right fit and Indeed lists the majority of software engineer jobs in DC as paying $80,000-plus.
