What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (4)
The posting is written in Spanish and the role is based in Bogotá, Colombia — US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
Go and Java are presented as interchangeable options ('GO y/o Java'); Go is listed as the primary name with Java as an alternative. Java is also listed separately as a preferred skill since fullstack experience (which may imply Java on the frontend/mobile side) is explicitly called 'desirable'.
The posting names no specific frameworks, cloud platforms, databases, or tooling beyond REST services and the two languages — the skills list is intentionally thin, reflecting what the JD actually states.
Work modality is described as hybrid ('modalidad de trabajo híbrido'), so the role is not fully remote.
