Tech Jobs in Ukraine

Ukraine ranks among the world’s top software‑development hubs, with over 70,000 engineers and a network of 1,200+ tech firms. The country’s universities produce graduates ready for full‑stack, DevOps, and AI roles, while the rise of remote work has attracted global clients to hire locally. Companies like EPAM, SoftServe, N‑iX, and Ciklum report average salaries 30–45% higher than the national average, making the market a profitable choice for skilled professionals.

Key industries driving demand include fintech, e‑commerce, gaming, and AI. In Kyiv, fintech giants like Revolut and Monobank outsource to Ukrainian teams; Lviv hosts AI startups such as Grammarly’s Ukrainian office; Kharkiv is home to gaming studios like Voodoo and Ubisoft’s Eastern European studio; and Dnipro’s digital‑health companies such as Infobox are rapidly scaling. These firms offer roles in software engineering, product management, data science, and cybersecurity.

The cost of living in major tech hubs is low compared to Western Europe. Monthly rent for a one‑bedroom apartment in Kyiv averages ₴12,000 (≈$300), while salaries for a senior engineer can reach ₴120,000–₴150,000 (≈$3,000–$4,000). Transparent salary data lets candidates evaluate whether a position meets their lifestyle goals and negotiate confidently, especially when relocating to cities like Lviv or Kharkiv where housing and transportation costs differ.
