How these numbers are made

Developer and tech roles posted in the last 7 days, taken straight from employers’ own hiring systems (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, Oracle, Eightfold, SuccessFactors and others), checked daily. Staffing agencies and duplicate roles are removed.
Posted = the earlier of the employer’s own posted date (when its hiring system gives a real one) and the day RoleWeek first saw the role on the employer’s job board. If the employer closes a role and posts it again within 60 days, it keeps its first date.
Cities are 50-mile areas; Remote = roles open to people in the US or Canada. A role posted for two cities counts in each; the total counts it once.
Salary: midpoint of the yearly ranges employers list, in the city’s currency, shown only when at least 10 roles list one. Totals and role types use US (USD) roles only.
RoleWeek doesn’t list every developer role yet. We read 54,413 employer job boards directly and add more every week.
