137 enriched SWE postings in 2026-W37. Share = postings mentioning the technology ÷ that number — postings still awaiting enrichment are excluded from the denominator, so a processing backlog cannot depress every share at once. The chart shows the top 15; the table in section 3 lists the top 30.
| Technology | Share | Change | Postings |
|---|---|---|---|
| google-cloud | 11.7% | +3.0pp | 16 |
| shell | 12.4% | +2.9pp | 17 |
| python | 19.7% | +0.1pp | 27 |
| Technology | Share | Change | Postings |

| linux | 11.7% | -5.4pp | 16 |
| aws | 15.3% | -3.9pp | 21 |
| azure | 16.1% | -1.8pp | 22 |
Change is in percentage points of share, not relative percent: a technology going from 1 to 3 postings would otherwise read as +200% and top the board. Boards consider every technology above the bar, not only the 30 the table below shows.
Premium compares the median advertised monthly salary of postings mentioning a technology against the overall median, over the trailing 90 days. Baseline: S$7000, the median of 1299 postings advertising a monthly range — medians pin the unit so the figures are comparable. Separately, 100.0% of SWE postings state pay at all (1299 of 1299, in any unit); the rest hide it, and no figure here describes them. Entry-friendly is computed over the same 90-day window. Premium mixes seniority in (senior roles name more infrastructure); pick an experience band above to compare within one. Entry-friendly = the share of postings mentioning the technology that ask for at most 2 years' experience, or are Intern/Junior roles with no stated requirement. The table lists the top 30 technologies by postings.

These are MyCareersFuture's own skill tags — the competencies the employer filled in on the form, over the trailing 90 days (2026-06-23 → 2026-09-20) across 1299 postings. They are not the technology ranking above: languages and frameworks appear only in the free-text description, which is why this system reads it separately. "Must-have" is the share of postings listing the tag that marked it essential rather than desirable — a tag that is everywhere but rarely essential is table stakes, one that is usually essential is a filter someone is applying.
