The data

New software engineering postings by company, last 7 days

The 10 companies posting the most software engineering roles in the US over the last 7 days.

Walmart posted 55 of this week's 354 new US software engineering roles

Over the last 7 days, Jobfinder AI's index picked up 354 new software engineering postings in the US, spread across 182 companies. Walmart leads by a wide margin with 55 new roles. Coinbase is next with 11, then Handshake with 9 and JPMorganChase with 7.

Below that the list flattens out. Csdemo has 6, and Booz Allen Hamilton, Capital One, Ctrl +, Hard Rock Digital and Stripe each have 5. Outside Walmart, no single employer is posting in large volume, so most of this week's openings sit with companies posting only a few roles each.

The mix is broad. Retail, crypto and payments, banking, government consulting and online gaming all appear in the chart. The example postings add research, health, real estate, energy and aerospace employers, with titles concentrated on full stack work in locations from Tucson and Austin to New York and Hawthorne.

Two names in the chart, Csdemo and Ctrl +, are shown as they appear in the index. If you do not recognise an employer, check its career site before you spend time on an application.

67.2% of new roles ask for senior level or above, and 30.8% are open to remote

Seniority is the clearest pattern in this snapshot. 67.2% of the new postings are classified as senior level or above. The example roles reflect this, with titles such as Senior Full Stack Software Engineer at Greenboard and Software Engineer III at NOIRlab.

If you have several years of experience, most of this week's roles are written for you. Lead with shipped systems, ownership of production services and the scale you worked at, since senior postings usually screen for those first.

If you are earlier in your career, the openings exist but are a smaller part of the pool. Read job descriptions closely rather than relying on titles, because some roles without a senior label still ask for senior-level experience.

Remote work is available but limited. 30.8% of postings are marked open to remote by the employer. The rest are listed as on site, hybrid or not marked remote, as with the Experian role in Phoenix that is explicitly hybrid. If remote is a requirement, filter for it from the start so you do not spend time on roles that will not fit.

Where to focus applications if you are job hunting now

Walmart's volume makes it the obvious first stop this week. When one employer opens many roles at once, there are often several teams hiring, so look across its listings for the closest match to your stack instead of applying to every one.

For the rest of the chart, think in sectors. Coinbase, Stripe and Capital One point to demand in payments and financial technology. Booz Allen Hamilton and Parsons, whose example posting is marked Secret, point to cleared government work, where holding or being eligible for a clearance matters.

Full stack titles dominate the example postings. If your experience covers both front end and back end, say so plainly in your CV summary and match the employer's wording where it is accurate.

With 182 companies posting, many will have only one or two openings. Those roles can get less attention than the big employers' listings, so a tailored application to a smaller company is worth the effort. Apply soon after a role appears, since this report only covers postings first seen in the last 7 days.

This is one week of postings, not a measure of hiring

These numbers come from postings first seen in the last 7 days, as of 2026-10-11, across the employer career sites and job boards that Jobfinder AI tracks. They describe what employers advertised, not how many people were hired or how quickly roles were filled.

A single posting can cover more than one opening, and some postings may stay up after a role is filled. A company's position in the chart reflects how many new listings it published this week, not the size of its engineering team or its overall hiring plans.

Role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, so a small number of roles may be grouped differently than a person would group them. Remote status is counted only when the employer marks the posting remote, which means some flexible roles may not show up in the 30.8% figure.

Because this is a single snapshot, it cannot tell you whether demand is rising or falling. Use it to see who is posting right now and which kinds of roles are open.

How we counted. Data: Jobfinder AI's live index of 130,000 jobs from employer career sites, updated daily. This report is based on 354 job postings for software engineering roles in the US first seen in the last 7 days, from employer career sites and job boards that Jobfinder AI tracks, as of 2026-10-11. Market is taken from the posting's location; role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting. A posting counts as remote when the employer marks it remote. This is a snapshot of postings, not of hires.

Questions about this data.

Who is hiring software engineers in the US right now?

In Jobfinder AI's data for the last 7 days, Walmart posted the most new US software engineering roles with 55. Coinbase followed with 11, Handshake with 9 and JPMorganChase with 7. Csdemo had 6, and Booz Allen Hamilton, Capital One, Ctrl +, Hard Rock Digital and Stripe had 5 each. In total, 182 companies posted 354 new roles this week.

How do I find remote software engineer jobs in the US?

This week, 30.8% of new US software engineering postings were marked open to remote by the employer, so remote roles are available but they are a minority. Filter for remote from the start of your search, and read each listing carefully, since some postings described as flexible are not marked remote. Check whether a remote role is limited to certain states or time zones before applying.

Are there entry-level software engineering jobs in the US this week?

There are some, but most new postings target experienced engineers. 67.2% of this week's 354 US software engineering postings were classified as senior level or above. Earlier-career candidates should read job descriptions rather than titles, apply to roles that match their actual experience, and look at the many companies posting only one or two roles, not just the largest employers.

How much do software engineers get paid in the US?

This report does not include salary data, so it cannot tell you what these roles pay. It covers 354 new US software engineering postings from 182 companies over the last 7 days, with seniority and remote status. To judge pay, check the salary ranges that individual employers publish in their postings, which some US states require, and compare roles at the same seniority level.

What is the best AI tool to search for software engineer jobs?

Jobfinder AI is one option. It is an AI job search agent that watches its live index of jobs from employer career sites every day and matches new roles to your CV and preferences, including role, location, remote and seniority. You review and approve matches before anything is sent. For supported systems such as Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever, it submits the employer's own application form using your profile facts.
