Hungary

Feeny is tracking about 307 open tech roles in Hungary, from roughly 58 companies hiring. Each listing is pulled from a company's careers page, so it reflects a live opening. Nearly all of it runs through Budapest, the country's clear tech center. Filter by discipline to focus the search.

Budapest is essentially the entire market. The city carries a strong engineering culture, rooted in a national history of world-class mathematicians and physicists, and that's where the roles sit. A scattering shows up elsewhere, but across the 1 Hungarian cities we index Budapest dominates. Working in Hungarian tech means working in Budapest.

Hungary's technical depth has fed a growing SaaS and fintech layer, with fraud and security tech emerging as a genuine local strength. The talent pool is why serious engineering happens here despite the smaller startup scene. The hiring leans toward enterprise software and security-adjacent products. Feeny lists roles from about 58 companies, so the current openings are the ones to look at directly.

The work skews developer tools, fraud and security, and enterprise software. Hungary's mathematical tradition shows up in demand for engineers comfortable with hard, algorithm-heavy problems, which is part of why fraud and security tech took root here. Enterprise and backend roles form the steady base. The foreign-hiring pipeline is smaller than in Poland, but the technical bar is real.

Budapest gives you a low cost of living against a deep engineering culture, which makes local salaries stretch. The city itself is a genuine draw, and the tech community is tight-knit given its size. English works in most tech teams, with Hungarian useful for daily life. The honest trade is scale: fewer employers and a smaller startup scene mean less room to job-hop than in a bigger market.

The EU Blue Card and a national work permit cover non-EU hires. EU citizens can work without a permit. The foreign-hiring pipeline is smaller here than in some neighbors, so expect fewer employers set up to sponsor, but the routes themselves are standard. Confirm the employer's willingness to sponsor early in the process.
