Mobile developer roles in Poland surged during 2025. This was partly driven by the robust growth within IT vacancies and booming ICT sector expected to have reached 114.25 billion PLN. Across Poland, smartphones and apps dominate daily life, with consumers and businesses relying on mobile platforms. Skilled mobile developers build these essential apps, making them vital for companies to stay competitive in the digital economy.
According to Verita HR, “Poland’s booming app economy keeps mobile developers in constant demand.” Warsaw leads with nearly 60% of all mobile developer job openings, followed closely by Krakow and Wroclaw. This translates into strong demand from dozens of firms, including banks, e-commerce, gaming and SaaS companies for mobile engineers.
In practice, this makes the mobile role mission-critical: without a reliable team to build fast, user-friendly apps, a business risks falling behind.
Mobile Developer Market Trends in Poland: Why It’s Heating Up
Verita HR’s internal dataset shows just how tight the mobile talent pool truly is.
According to Milena Górka, Senior IT Recruitment Expert at Verita HR, “the mobile talent landscape in Poland has been tightening for several years, and current data clearly supports this trend.”
She continued that “in our recruitment projects, the time-to-hire for Android and iOS roles is consistently among the longest in IT – usually 30–45% longer than for back-end or data-focused positions. This is a generalization based on real market trends commonly reported by recruitment firms (e.g., Hays, Just Join IT Insights, No Fluff Jobs), where mobile roles are indeed among the hardest to fill, but the exact percentage depends on the company and project.”
Poland has 12,000+ mobile specialists, but Verita HR estimates show only about 3,400 are active job seekers, and roughly 1,400 emerge from training pipelines each cycle. Data indicated that barely 1,000 mid-level developers are genuinely open to new roles.
Górka believes that “this extended hiring timeline results not only from a limited candidate pool, but also from the fact that over 80% of experienced mobile engineers work in product-focused companies and are not actively considering new opportunities.”
That imbalance fuels a competitive rush among companies like Droids On Roids, Bolt, Allegro, Revolut, Luxoft, EPAM Systems, Cognizant, Capgemini, and Netcompany. Each of these companies is chasing the same limited group of engineers capable of shipping stable, high-performance apps.
In Verita HR’s sample window, only 3 formal mobile openings were publicly visible. That doesn’t signal low demand; it shows closed-network recruiting and aggressive sourcing long before roles hit job boards. In reality, the mobile market operates like a pressure chamber where experienced developers rarely stay available for long.
Mobile Developer Salaries and Job Demand in Poland
In this tight market, salaries reflect the scarcity of talent. Mobile developers in Poland command strong pay. Industry data shows a median gross monthly salary of around 11,480 PLN (about 137,000 PLN per year), rising to an average of roughly 202,000 PLN annually. Senior iOS and Android engineers in top companies often exceed 20,000 PLN per month.

“We also see a noticeable shift in seniority levels. While junior mobile candidates are easier to find, clients increasingly look for specialists with 4+ years of experience, especially those who have built commercial apps with large user traffic,” Górka said.
While thousands of entry‑level developers exist, firms need proven veterans who can lead major app projects. Even with hefty salaries, positions don’t stay open long. Górka expanded on this, explaining: “These developers often receive several offers at once, and salary reviews every 9–12 months.”
“Location has a clear impact as well. In our Warsaw-based searches, competition between employers often pushes salary offers 12–18% higher than in other regions,” she added.
Tech job boards routinely list hundreds of mobile roles (for example, Glassdoor currently shows around 200 mobile developer jobs in Warsaw alone).

Polish employers want mobile developers who can do more than write code. A great mobile developer must also be a problem solver and product thinker. Typical requirements include:
• Expertise in Android (Kotlin/Java) or iOS (Swift/Objective-C) development
• Experience with cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native
• Strong skills in user experience, performance optimization, and security
The rise of these tools means many companies now seek developers who can deliver a single codebase across multiple devices.
“Additionally, projects that require cross-platform skills (Flutter, React Native) reduce the available talent pool by almost half compared with single-platform searches,” Górka added.
Beyond languages, firms expect an understanding of encryption and app store policies, as many mobile apps handle payments, personal data, or real-time media. English is usually required, since developers often work with international teams or clients.
In short, companies look for full-stack mobile developers: engineers who connect the technical backend with the smooth user interface. Those who can launch apps, iterate quickly, and coach junior colleagues are especially prized, which is why 70% of openings are for mid/senior levels.
