Technology roles are among the highest-paying jobs advertised in the Philippines, with monthly salaries for DevOps engineers ranging from P86,000 to P158,000, according to Jobstreet by SEEK’s Salary Pulse 2026 Report.
The report draws on thousands of monthly full-time job postings on the platform and covers typical middle-band salaries, from lower-mid to upper-mid pay ranges. The figures reflect advertised compensation for the covered roles.
Data engineers and Java developers had advertised monthly salaries reaching P138,000, followed by full stack developers at P134,600 and systems engineers at P129,000.
Jobstreet attributed the higher pay to demand for specialized technical skills, including artificial intelligence, as companies adopt new technologies. Entry salary bands for IT specialists and IT support staff, meanwhile, started between P15,900 and P33,000.
Pay differences were also evident in customer service and business support, where roles involving technical troubleshooting, quality auditing, or management offered higher compensation.
Customer service representatives had advertised monthly salaries of P21,500 to P27,200. Pay for quality analysts reached P58,500, while operations managers’ salaries went up to P129,000.

“Before making your next career move, look beyond salary figures and consider where your skills are most valued. While talent scarcity can drive higher compensation, it is not the only factor employers consider,” said Dannah Majarocon, managing director of Jobstreet by SEEK in the Philippines.
“Salary opportunities also vary across industries, so finding the right fit between your skills, experience, and an industry’s needs can put you in a better position to negotiate a competitive offer.”
