Tech Job Market Report: September 2026
A snapshot of what's open across the 1,121 companies we track on remoet.dev. 795 of them are hiring right now. The rest are quiet this month.
16,000 active job openings. Here's how they break down.
Where the work is
| Location policy | Jobs | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Fully remote | 3,385 | 21% |
| Remote, region-restricted | 3,381 | 21% |
| Hybrid | 5,672 | 35% |
| Onsite | 3,549 | 22% |
| Unspecified | 13 | 0% |
The "unspecified" bucket is large because most career-page scrapers don't normalize location policy. We're improving extraction; expect that share to drop in future reports.

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.
| Tech | Avg low | Avg high | Postings |
|---|---|---|---|
| cuda | $216k | $327k | 76 |
| machine learning | $213k | $310k | 180 |
| ml | $207k | $290k | 92 |
| llm | $201k | $283k | 269 |
| pytorch | $200k | $305k | 261 |
| rust | $196k | $275k | 605 |
| tensorflow | $196k | $292k | 137 |
| rag | $192k | $266k | 64 |
| flink | $190k | $269k | 105 |
| temporal | $189k | $271k | 72 |
Experience level
545 active postings tag themselves as junior-level. That's about 3.4% of the total. The split: 9,973 senior, 5,469 mid, 545 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.
Most common benefits
Counted by distinct companies offering each benefit on at least one active posting. Free-text benefit fields get noisy fast, and only about half of postings list any benefits at all.

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. 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.
