Poland

Feeny is tracking about 1,690 open tech roles in Poland, from roughly 281 companies hiring. Each listing is pulled from a company's careers page, so it reflects a live opening. Most of it clusters in Warsaw and Kraków, the two cities that host the country's big engineering centers. Filter by city or discipline to zero in.

Warsaw and Kraków carry the market between them. Both cities host large engineering centers for global firms, so a lot of the hiring is for teams that build products used far outside Poland. Wrocław and a few others add volume, and across the 2 Polish cities we index you have real choice, but Warsaw and Kraków are where the density is. Either one gives you a deep local job market.

Global firms run serious engineering out of Poland: CoreWeave, Nord Security, RTB House, and Asana all build here. On the homegrown side, CD Projekt made The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 and anchors the country's gaming industry. So the hiring splits between international engineering centers and a strong local games scene. Feeny lists roles from about 281 companies, so the current set is worth checking directly.

The work leans backend and platform engineering, gaming, and security. Poland's reputation is built on the depth and value of its engineering talent, which is why so many global companies staff whole teams here rather than just support functions. CD Projekt and the games cluster pull in gameplay and engine engineers, while Nord Security adds real cybersecurity demand. This is an engineering market first, more than a startup-founder one.

Poland pairs strong engineering culture with a cost of living well below Western Europe, which is a big part of why the talent is in such demand. Salaries are competitive locally and stretch a long way, especially outside the two biggest cities. English is common in the international engineering centers, though local firms may lean Polish. The honest trade is that a lot of the best-paid work is building someone else's product, but the engineering itself is genuinely respected.

Work permits for non-EU hires are standard here, if a little bureaucratic. EU citizens can work without a permit. Plenty of the global firms operating in Poland already hire foreigners, so the market is used to sponsoring international talent. Budget some patience for the paperwork, since the process can be slow even when the outcome is routine.
