257,919 open roles at 12,586 companies, 40,494 of them remote. Read directly from each employer's own careers page and public ATS feed — never aggregated or reposted from a job board.

What this is

Most job datasets are scraped from aggregators, which means they are a copy of a copy: stale, deduplicated badly, and full of listings that were filled weeks ago. This one is read at the source. Every row links to the employer's own posting.

A listing is removed when the company takes it down, so the set does not accumulate filled roles.

What is excluded, and why

• Recruiters, staffing agencies and job-board aggregators. Every entry is an employer hiring for itself.
• Companies with no career page or no open role. There would be nothing to apply to.
• Non-commercial domains — .org, .edu, .gov and similar.
• Job descriptions. They are the employer's own copyrighted text. Republishing them wholesale is not ours to do; the url goes to the source.

Known limitations

• location is free text exactly as the employer published it, so London, London, United Kingdom and London, GB all occur. Normalise before aggregating.
• posted is missing for a minority of rows, because not every ATS feed publishes it. Sort with nulls last.
• Company names originate from ATS tokens for board-sourced employers, so some appear as slugs (Openai rather than OpenAI).
• Coverage skews toward companies using Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and similar modern ATS platforms.
