Role market intelligence
Technology roles, requirements, and hiring demand
Each role page is compiled from first-party vacancy evidence. Current listings are separated from still-published long-running roles, while requirement tiers show what employers actually ask for.
Market snapshot
Compare demand before choosing a role
The charts use the same evidence-qualified current listings as the cards. Employer breadth adds context: a large count concentrated at a few companies is a different market from one spread across many employers.

How to read this directory
From employer vacancy to a role signal
A role appears only after the source-active vacancy evidence passes the quality gate. Fresh demand, older still-published vacancies, employer breadth and requirements stay separate so one metric cannot masquerade as the whole market.
