Jobs

Open Madison software jobs

Every open software job across the Madison metro — Dane County and the full surrounding MSA (Columbia, Green, and Iowa), plus the Janesville / Beloit and Baraboo CSA ring — pulled straight from each employer’s own careers feed and laid out plainly, with no aggregator noise in between. This is a software-dense market: Epic Systems in Verona, the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the American Family / CUNA Mutual insurance-tech cluster, and Exact Sciences all hire here. I keep it local and primary-sourced so wherever you are in the search, the next step is a little easier.

About this page

Every posting is classified into one of three AI buckets: AI required when the description names specific AI tools as required skills (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) or names LLM/agent/RAG/embeddings as core to the day-to-day; AI mentioned when the description mentions AI tooling in passing without it being the core skill; No AI mention when the description contains none of the relevant keywords. Each row links to the matched keywords inline so you can judge for yourself.

The geographic filter is opinionated. Dane County (Madison, plus Verona — Epic Systems — Fitchburg, Middleton, Sun Prairie, and the rest of the county) postings are always included; so are postings across the full Madison MSA — Columbia County (Portage, Columbus, Lodi), Green County (Monroe, New Glarus, Belleville), and Iowa County (Dodgeville — Lands’ End — Mineral Point). The Janesville / Beloit corridor (Rock County) and the Baraboo area (Sauk County) sit just outside the official MSA but are included here as the obvious commute-shed extension that completes the Madison–Janesville–Beloit CSA. Remote postings are included only when the employer also has a Madison-area office — otherwise anywhere-in-the-US remote noise would swamp the page. Use the Location filter to narrow to a specific city.

This page is an independent aggregation. Mungomash is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the employers listed. Application-status tracking and email alerts are out of scope. Per-posting salary ranges are surfaced inline when the employer discloses one — structured ATS fields first, JD-body prose as a fallback; rows with no disclosed range render no chip. For broader salary context, see H-1B Salaries (visa-petition disclosures) and Dev Wages (national survey).
