Which jobs are included

A job is in this dataset when its title matches the include list below and does not match the exclude list. The data has no job-category field, so the rule reads the employer's own title. It is approximate: some titles that match are not technology roles, and technology roles with unusual titles are missed. The patterns are applied to the lowercase title with RE2 regular expressions; \b is replaced by a Unicode-aware word boundary.

Include:

Each row is one job. Postings of the same opening on different sources are merged into one job, and posting_url links to an original listing. The job description text is not included. Pay, location and dates are copied as the employer published them.

Source

The jobs are read from employers' public hiring systems: applicant tracking systems, company careers pages and public government job exchanges. Only postings whose source terms allow redistribution are included. Titles, employer names and pay are the employers' own words and numbers. This dataset is a cut of the full Headcount Labs snapshot (the full dataset is coming soon), built from the same export on 2026-10-19. It is a one-off snapshot and is not updated.
