The Bay Area still has the densest concentration of tech headquarters and venture-backed startups anywhere, from big-tech campuses in the South Bay to AI labs in San Francisco. Backend, frontend, full-stack, mobile and infrastructure engineers are still the largest technical hiring pool, and teams screen hardest on shipped systems: what you built, how it scaled, and how you debugged it when it broke.
This page tracks open roles for software engineers in the San Francisco Bay Area, pulled straight from employers' own applicant tracking systems rather than reposted from other job boards. Use the filters to narrow by salary, experience level, remote options and visa sponsorship, or let Aplyr's Autopilot apply to matching roles for you.

About this list
What’s included. This page shows roles classified as Software Engineering, located in the San Francisco Bay Area area (San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale…), newest first. Postings come directly from employers’ own career sites, not from other job boards.
How it stays fresh. Aplyr re-checks sources throughout the day and drops a posting as soon as the employer closes it. The page itself is rebuilt daily and the “updated” time at the top refreshes live. Snapshot as of Oct 30, 2026.
Quality filters. The table only shows postings from the last 90 days, newest first, and rows with neither a salary nor a location are moved to the bottom. 4 postings in the latest batch were hidden because the title didn’t match this list’s role family.
