Tech Job Market Report: August 2026
A snapshot of what's open across the 1,121 companies we track on remoet.dev. 820 of them are hiring right now. The rest are quiet this month.
16,274 active job openings. That total counts raw postings, not the collapsed roles the board at remoet.dev/jobs shows, so it runs above what a visitor sees there. Here's how the postings break down.
Where the work is
| Location policy | Jobs | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Fully remote | 3,396 | 21% |
| Remote, region-restricted | 3,323 | 20% |
| Hybrid | 5,693 | 35% |
| Onsite | 3,847 | 24% |
| Unspecified | 15 | 0% |
Almost every posting now declares a location policy. The unspecified bucket is down to 15 postings, which is why it rounds to zero.
Top 15 companies by open postings
Ranked by raw postings rather than collapsed roles, so a company that publishes one role once per location ranks far above its actual hiring. Speechify is the clearest case: it tops this list on postings, and when we re-measured on 2026-09-17 its collapsed role count was 15.

What pays
Salary bands across roles that mention each tech, drawn from postings with disclosed USD comp. Caveat: postings with public salary skew toward US states with pay-transparency laws (CA, CO, NY, WA), so absolute levels run high. Filtered to techs with at least 50 postings.

| gpu | $227k | $356k | 52 |
| cuda | $222k | $329k | 86 |

Experience level
586 active postings tag themselves as junior-level. That's about 3.6% of the total. The split: 10,114 senior, 5,559 mid, 586 junior. If you're in your first three years, treat the junior subset as your working set and sort by company-stack match before applying.

Methodology
Data is pulled from 1,121 company career pages, scraped and enriched daily. Active-job counts are point-in-time as of report generation, and every count in this report is raw postings rather than the collapsed roles the board shows. Salary numbers reflect only postings that publish compensation, which biases toward US pay-transparency jurisdictions.
Coverage is still expanding as we onboard new sources, so month-over-month job totals look inflated. Treat absolute numbers as current snapshots, not as growth signals, until coverage stabilizes.
