Every month we count what’s open on the board: who is hiring, for what, and where. This is the picture on 3 October 2026: 13,705 open tech roles at 1,259 companies, of which 2,506 were posted in the last seven days.

A company that posted a lot this week is a company actively filling roles now, which is a better signal than its total. TD Bank, Snap, Okta and Pinterest rank much higher here than by open roles, so they are posting faster right now than their total suggests.

Inside Europe, the DACH countries have the most roles (387), then Southern Europe (345), Benelux (155) and the Nordics (138). 3,211 roles are fully remote (23% of the board), and 572 of the roles posted this week were remote.

When new roles appear

Employers post on working days. Over the last month, a weekday brought anywhere from 300 to 740 new roles, and a Saturday or Sunday brought 22 to 46. In practice that means:

  • Check for new roles every working day, not once a week. A role posted on Tuesday has three days of applications behind it by Friday.
  • Monday morning holds whatever was posted late on Friday, so it’s worth a look before the week fills up.
  • Weekends are for applications you’ve already picked, not for searching.
  • Press Save Search on any listing and the checking is done for you: new roles that match it arrive in your notifications.

How we count

These are the roles open on the board on 3 October 2026, counted per company by the roles anyone can read. Roles in their Early Window and Direct Apply roles keep their company private, so a company’s real number can be higher than shown. A role counts as new when it was posted in the seven days before. We’ll publish the same count every month, so the trend becomes visible over time.
