Our IT consultants regularly post new opportunities for web developer profiles (back-end and front-end), full-stack developer, mobile app developer, and big data developer, in both permanent and contract roles.
A senior Full-Stack developer in Montreal typically earns between $100,000 and $120,000 per year. This is the question nearly every candidate asks before applying, and it's also the hardest piece of data to find on standard job boards. Here are the ranges observed by our Fed IT consultants, based on the mandates handled and interviews conducted with Greater Montreal professionals in 2024-2025.
| Position | Entry-level | Intermediate | Senior |
| Back-End Developer | 80 000 $ | 90 000 $ | 110 000 $ |
| Front-End Developer | 75 000 $ | 90 000 $ | 100 000 $ |
| Full-Stack Developer | 90 000 $ | 100 000 $ | 120 000 $ |

These figures remain indicative: they vary depending on the industry, company size, and level of managerial responsibility. A developer who masters both cloud computing and cybersecurity, for example, can negotiate above these ranges, as these hybrid skills are particularly in demand right now.
Companies in Greater Montreal are now looking for profiles that combine software development with security, rather than purely technical specialists. This shift reflects the growing importance of data protection in IT investment priorities.
Specifically, three skill families stand out:
Montreal's software development market is tightening around specialized profiles rather than experiencing uniform growth. According to the Government of Canada's Job Bank, the employment outlook for software engineers and designers (NOC 21231) is rated as limited in the Montreal region for the 2025-2027 period, with approximately 12,600 people currently holding this type of position in Quebec.
This overall caution, however, masks a more nuanced reality depending on experience level. The Institut du Québec notes that between 2022 and 2025, employment among developers aged 15 to 29 fell by 18%, while employment among professionals aged 30 and older grew by 3% over the same period. In other words, demand is shifting toward experienced, specialized profiles, at the expense of entry-level positions.
The unemployment rate in Canada's tech sector stood at 3% in October 2025 according to Statistics Canada, a level that remains favorable for qualified candidates negotiating their terms. TechnoCompétences, Quebec's sector council for information technology workforce, confirms in its February 2026 review that the market is undergoing a structural realignment rather than a broad slowdown.
A general job board shows you postings. A specialized firm like Fed IT understands your technologies, your background, and the real context of the teams hiring, before it even presents you with an offer.
In our experience, this approach makes a real difference on the ground. A systems administrator position left vacant without notice at a Montreal public organization, for example, was filled in seven days thanks to a pool of candidates already met and evaluated. Another example: a technical support analyst placed once in 2021 was successfully placed again four years later, with a different employer, thanks to the ongoing relationship maintained by our consultants over time.
This in-depth knowledge of each candidate's file eliminates lengthy preliminary evaluation phases and speeds up the process, without sacrificing the quality of the match between your skills and the company's actual needs.
Check out all our information technology job listings or contact a Fed IT consultant directly to discuss your background and the opportunities that match your profile, with no commitment on your part.
According to the Fed IT 2025 Salary Guide, an entry-level Back-End developer starts around $80,000, while a senior profile can exceed $110,000. Senior Full-Stack developers reach $120,000, and team lead positions often exceed $150,000. These figures vary depending on specialization and level of responsibility.
Montreal companies are particularly looking for profiles that combine development with cybersecurity, as well as experts in e-commerce solutions and integrated management tools. Cloud computing and applied artificial intelligence skills are also gaining importance.
A specialized firm like Fed IT has in-depth knowledge of technical environments and the local market, which allows it to quickly target the right positions without submitting applications at random. Support also includes interview preparation and salary negotiation advice.
Test your digital tools at least five minutes before the interview, adopt a grounded posture with your gaze directed toward the camera, and prepare your answers as you would for an in-person interview. Technical mastery of the tool alone makes a good impression.
Fed IT supports candidates for permanent positions as well as temporary assignments, staffing, or interim management, depending on market needs and your career goals.
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the position: some urgent mandates have been filled within a week, while more structured placements generally take three to four weeks.
