A growing wave of layoffs might be sweeping through Silicon Valley, but the hottest job on the market right now is in tech: full-stack developer.

Full-stack developers claimed the top spot in Indeed's annual ranking of the "best jobs" in the U.S., thanks to a strong 10-year outlook and increasing demand for these skilled professionals across several industries. Indeed also assessed salary and the percentage of remote/hybrid job opportunities, among other criteria.

Not only does this job pay well — the average mean salary for full-stack developers is $129,637, per Indeed's research — but it also offers a lot of workplace flexibility. At least 50% of the listings for full-stack developers on Indeed's database have remote or hybrid options.

The demand for full-stack developers, whose main responsibilities include building the front end and back end of a website or application, writing code and maintaining the software, has transcended the tech sector in recent months.
