Finding a job in Bulgaria

English-speaking work is concentrated in Sofia — tech, shared-services and multilingual support are the easiest way in. Bulgarian is rarely required in IT but usually expected everywhere else, and salary expectations here differ sharply from what you're used to further west.

  • dev.bg Recommended

    Bulgaria's main IT job board — the default place tech roles get posted.

    Language: English-friendly

    Salary ranges show on most ads, which is rare here — a good baseline before you negotiate.

  • Noblehire.io Recommended

    Curated tech jobs with transparent salaries and company profiles.

    Language: English

    Smaller volume than dev.bg but higher signal — good for scoping who's actually hiring foreigners.

  • jobs.bg Recommended

    The biggest general board — every sector, not just tech.

    Language: Bulgarian (browser-translate friendly)

    Worth a look even with zero Bulgarian — filters translate cleanly enough to browse by role.

  • Bulgaria Wants You Recommended

    Relocation-oriented board with a dedicated English-listings section.

    Language: English

    A solid starting point for non-tech roles aimed specifically at people moving from abroad.

  • zaplata.bg

    Salary-focused general job board.

    Language: Bulgarian

    Listings show pay upfront, which helps benchmark against local rates before you apply.

  • yox.bg

    General aggregator pulling listings from multiple boards.

    Language: Mixed Bulgarian/English

    A meaningful share of ads are in English — worth a scan alongside jobs.bg.

  • Europe Language Jobs

    Multilingual roles — customer support, BPO, back-office.

    Language: English (roles in many languages)

    A classic first expat job in Sofia if you speak a second European language on top of English.

  • EURES

    The official EU mobility job portal.

    Language: English + local languages

    Employers here are vetted for cross-border hiring — it plays well with EU freedom-of-movement rules.

  • LinkedIn

    Set the location filter to Bulgaria.

    Language: English

    Most international employers hiring in Sofia post here first, before anywhere local.

Sort your work permit before you accept
If you're not an EU/EEA citizen, you generally need an employer-driven work permit or an EU Blue Card in place before your start date, not after — the employer has to initiate it.
