Age counts days since the employer published the posting. Around a third of sources publish only a coarse date such as “30+ days ago”, so the older end of this distribution is less precise than the recent end. It is the most-cited signal that a role may not be actively filled — a signal, not a verdict.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many C++ jobs are open?

The count at the top is every current posting that mentions C++, across all roles and locations we track.

What does C++ pay?

The percentile table shows the advertised range. Only postings that publish a salary are counted, and the disclosure rate is printed next to the median.

Which cities hire most for C++?

The top locations chart ranks them by open postings.

Figures cover 191,577 postings collected from public company career pages and applicant tracking systems, last recomputed 2026-09-02. “Posted N days ago” counts from the date the employer published the listing, not from when we first saw it. A posting that has been up for months is a common sign it is not being actively filled — though a long-lived listing is a signal, not a verdict. How we measure this →
