Technical roles rise to the top of Indeed's 2017 list of best jobs.

Tech positions dominate Indeed’s Best Jobs of 2017 list, released Tuesday.

Indeed, the jobs website, crafted the list using number of job postings, salary ($70K+) and growth opportunity data based on postings from 2013 to 2016.

Software engineering and developer jobs scored seven of the top 10 spots. Full stack developer, which requires the ability to work on front and back-end technologies, won best overall job with an average base salary of $110,770. Data scientist ($129,938), development operations engineer ($123,165) and salesforce administrator ($89,702) were close behind.

“As every business morphs into the digital version of itself, the demand for workers with highly technical abilities is increasing far faster than supply” said Paul D’Arcy, Indeed senior vice president in a release. “The result is a rapid growth in open, unfilled jobs and increases in salaries for the talent that can fill these roles.”

Aside from tech, D'Arcy said roles in management, engineering and healthcare also look promising.

Here's the jobs that made the top 10:

1. Full stack developer

2. Data scientist

3. Development operations engineer

4. Salesforce administrator

5. IT engineer

6. Salesforce developer

7. Quality engineer

8. Digital project manager

9. Cloud engineer

10. Management consulting analytics manager
