We count each tech job on the job boards of the companies, and we check each job every day. The numbers cover the month to date. We update them every day. Last update: November 9, 2026.
We started to count on November 6, 2026, so this report covers 4 days (Nov 6 to Nov 9). The counts of new and closed jobs are small at first and grow each week. The numbers for open jobs, job types and pay already cover all the jobs.
From November 6 to November 9, 2026, 136 companies posted 239 new tech jobs on their own job boards, and the companies closed 61 jobs. On November 9, 2026, 69,148 tech jobs were open at 8,100 companies. We count a job as new only when it comes onto a job board that we read in full before. Thus, the jobs that were on a board before our first read are not new jobs in this report.
On November 9, 2026, the companies with the most open tech jobs on their own job boards are TikTok (1,147), Amazon (1,088) and NVIDIA (971). We count each job one time. We do not include job sites and staffing companies that post jobs for other companies.

The pay by company page shows more cities and job types.
On November 9, 2026, 42% of the open tech jobs on RoleBlip show pay, and 37% give a yearly base range in US dollars. The percentage with a yearly range is 59% in the San Francisco Bay Area, 73% in New York and 63% for US remote jobs. The laws of New York City and California tell companies to show pay ranges in job posts. In our test of the same 18 AI and ML searches on LinkedIn, 18.7% of the LinkedIn results showed pay.
The LinkedIn comparison page gives the method and all the numbers.
We do not have enough closed jobs yet to give a number. We measure only the jobs that we saw open and then close, and we need at least 10 of them. We do not include the jobs that were open before we started to count on November 6, 2026, because we do not know their start dates.
