I assume the BLS median accounts for all software jobs. That would include software jobs at GM (the US equivalent of BMW), banks, insurance companies, and the rest of the economy. Does it control for industry?

Going back to the phrase "software companies", the closest category-breakdown looks to be "Software Publishers", where the mean average [0] rises a bit to $149k. (I'm going to assume that the relative difference in means is similar to the difference in not-shown medians.) You can see higher values, but I think they look suspiciously like generic labels slapped over large something-opolies such as Google ("Web Search Portals, Libraries, Archives, and Other Information Services", mean $215k) or Uber and Lyft ("Taxi and Limousine Service", mean $187k.)
