Walmart posted 219 new software engineering roles, far ahead of every other company

Walmart posted 219 new US software engineering roles in the last 7 days, the most of any company in Jobfinder AI's index. Netflix came second with 53 and Clera third with 16.

Below those three, the list flattens quickly. Tillster posted 7 roles, 1password and Affirm 6 each, and Anthropic, Bentleysystems, Honeycomb.io and OpenAI 5 each.

In all, 649 new software engineering postings appeared across 240 companies. Outside the top few, volumes per company are small, so a useful search covers both the large employers with many openings and the many companies posting just one or two roles.

The example postings show how wide the field is: a full-stack intern role at Cmu in Pittsburgh, an entry-level Software Engineer I role at Handshake in San Francisco, senior backend work at LaunchDarkly, C++ vehicle software at Zoox in Foster City, and engineering management at Handshake and Carlyle.

68.6% of postings ask for senior level, and 27.7% are open to remote

Of the 649 postings, 68.6% were classified as senior level or above. Experienced engineers have the widest choice this week. Earlier-career candidates should still apply, but they will need to filter carefully for titles such as Software Engineer I, Engineer II or intern roles, and act quickly when one appears.

Only 27.7% of postings were marked remote by the employer. Remote examples this week include Engineer III at Mutual Of Omaha and Senior Backend Engineer, Experimentation at LaunchDarkly. If you need remote work, expect a narrower pool and consider whether hybrid roles in a commutable city would widen your options.

For someone applying now, the practical steps are simple. Check Walmart and Netflix career pages directly, since they posted the most roles. Then look at the smaller hiring companies, where a single posting may get less attention. Tailor your CV to the level stated in the title, because seniority labels drive how postings are classified and screened.

This is a one-week snapshot of postings, not a measure of hires

These figures count postings first seen in the last 7 days, as of 2026-11-01. They do not show how many people were hired, how long roles stay open, or whether a posting is a new seat or a backfill. A company that posts many roles is not necessarily hiring more people than one that posts few.

The data covers employer career sites and job boards that Jobfinder AI tracks, so companies outside that coverage will not appear. Market comes from the posting location, and role group and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, which means some titles may be grouped imperfectly.

A posting counts as remote only when the employer marks it remote. Some roles described as flexible in the text may not be counted.

Because this is a single snapshot, it says nothing about whether hiring is rising or falling. Use it as a list of where to look this week, not as a forecast of the market.
