Tech × role
Open postings pairing each technology with each role family, this week. Darker cells mean more postings asking for both.

Counts are whole open postings. Percentages compare against the immediately preceding week. Salary figures are an annualised, currency-converted estimate. A "New" badge means the item was absent from last week's top set, not that the posting is new.
