Software engineering in Portugal
Portugal has grown rapidly as a European technology destination over the past decade. Lisbon and Porto host a growing number of startups, scale-ups, and remote-friendly international engineering teams. Web Summit, one of the world's largest technology conferences, relocated to Lisbon in 2016, contributing to the city's visibility in the European tech ecosystem. Senior software engineers in Portugal typically earn between €45,000 and €90,000, with international companies and remote roles at the higher end. Portugal's Non-Habitual Resident tax regime attracted a wave of international tech talent, and while the scheme has been reformed, the country remains one of Europe's more tax-efficient markets. Portugal also offers a Digital Nomad Visa and has a lower cost of living than most Western European tech hubs.
What People Are Saying
Trusted by engineers across Europe
Gergely Orosz
The Pragmatic Engineer
Recently came across a neat site called NextLevelJobs.eu: which collects dev openings at "top tier" companies in the EU that offer top of the market (I'd call these Tier 2/3 in the trimodal model). It crawls these jobs at those companies and surfaces new listings.
Dejan B.
Senior Software Engineer
I take a look at nextleveljobs.eu every once in a while, and I like how simple and straightforward it is.

Software Engineer at Atlassian
NextLevelJobs has been really useful for me. I was able to find, and land a new gig at a really respected company through it, and I can't wait to start. Ever since I have been recommending friends in similar positions to sign up if they're looking for their next great EU job.
Luis Carlos Antunes
Junior Software Developer
I love how clean and straightforward nextleveljobs.eu is. It's a breath of fresh air compared to other job boards that are cluttered and overwhelming. Focusing specifically on tech positions is a huge plus for me, and the filters are incredibly helpful. I can find the perfect job in seconds. Plus, the team behind it is always open to feedback, which shows they truly care about the user experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from LinkedIn?
LinkedIn optimizes for engagement and volume. We optimize for compensation and signal.
That means:
• No low-paying startups
• No recruiter repost spam
• Focus on companies known to pay strong salaries
• Only roles that are still active on company career pages
We track engineering roles directly from company websites and surface opportunities at companies where senior engineers typically earn €100k+ depending on role and location.
Why charge developers instead of companies?
Most job boards get paid by companies. That creates an incentive to maximize listings, not quality.
We charge developers, so we have zero reason to inflate job counts, promote sponsored listings, or prioritize volume over relevance.
If a role isn't worth your time, it doesn't belong here.
How do you decide which companies to include?
We focus on companies known to pay strong compensation for senior engineers, typically €100k+ depending on role and location.
Each role is sourced directly from company career pages. No recruiters, no agencies, no paid placements.
New companies are added continuously based on compensation benchmarks and hiring patterns.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel anytime before renewal. No hidden fees. No retention games.
Do you guarantee €100k+ salaries?
We focus on companies known to offer strong compensation for senior engineers. Final compensation always depends on role, location, and negotiation.
We filter for high potential, not empty promises.
How often is the job list updated?
Roles are tracked daily and typically appear within hours of being posted on company career pages.
This gives early applicants an advantage before listings get flooded.
