Which companies are paying this, and what type of software are they making?

  Trading companies. They're writing software in house to control stock trading (or that of any other financial instrument that's on the market. The software is so directly responsible for profit margins that the companies are forced to be very competitive with their compensation.

    I was hoping for a more specific answer. I currently work at an algorithmic trading firm making software that trades securities, but I didn't find a position like this at $250K/year.

      Algo trading at the bigger banks. Any head hunter in NYC can help you find such a position.
