The CTOs and CIOs still get the biggest paychecks but A.I. engineers and machine learning specialists are now in such high demand that they have the clout to demand salaries that exceed $200K.
A ranking of the highest average salaries in the tech industry was published by Globe Newswire:
Overall, according to the 2019 Mondo Tech Salary Guide, the 11 highest-paid tech jobs for 2019 with salaries of $200,000 or more are:
CTO/CIO ($175,000 – $300,000)
Chief Information Security Officer ($175,000 – $275,000)
Demandware Developer ($127,500 – $237,500)

Machine Learning Engineer ($120,500 – $200,000)“Cybersecurity and IT security skills continue to net some of the highest salaries within technology departments,” said Tim Johnson, CEO of Mondo. “Salaries are expected to keep climbing as the talent gap widens, resulting in a projected shortfall of 3.5M security-related roles by 2021. We are also seeing some tech salaries that remain flat for less competitive, yet necessary skill sets, like QA and Network Support.”
