See the 1,400 roles

The board ended the week of 26 October at 1,400 roles in Ireland, 49 fewer than the week before. 119 opened and 184 closed. Mastercard closed 30 and opened 6, while Toast, Notion and Intercom each added five or more.

Median pay is €95.8k, up from €95k. 14% of listings are remote, 30 postings mention relocation support, and 24 of the 53 that address visas say they offer visa support.

38% of the roles have been listed for 60 days or more. I read each company’s own career page, and a role counts as closed the first time it’s gone from it.

Anthropic lists up to €325k for a Staff Software Engineer in inference, more than three times the €95.8k median. One posting, not the market.
