Introduction

As the new year starts, many software engineers are planning their next moves. Here are the most starred tech companies on Remoet drawing interest in Q1 2026.

Why these companies? Stars on Remoet reflect real developer interest. Developers star companies they would actually work for, based on tech stack overlap and the company's pulse. The list below is what the community has been watching this quarter.

A note added on 2026-09-17: this post originally printed an open-jobs count next to each company. Those counts came from a counter that included closed postings, so they ran well above the real number. We have removed them rather than restate a figure we cannot recover for this date. Each company name links to its listing page, which shows the current count.
